Valuable beauty, natural results

Hello, this is VN Plastic Surgery :)

If you are preparing for rhinoplasty, many people wonder when they can return to daily life, and for those with poor vision or who find daily life difficult without contact lenses or glasses, when can they start wearing lenses and glasses after nasal surgery?

Today, we’ll take a look at glasses and contact lens use, which is one of the most common questions people ask after surgery. We’ll also briefly summarize some of the other questions that patients often ask when they visit.

Why You Should Avoid Wearing Glasses After Rhinoplasty

Nasal surgery can largely be divided into bridge and tip surgery.

To raise the bridge of the nose, implants such as silicone are inserted,

and if pressure is applied to a sensitive area by wearing glasses after rhinoplasty, the shape may change, such as causing a crooked nose.

When wearing glasses, external pressure can push the implant out of place or bend its shape,

and in severe cases, you may end up needing correction for a crooked nose.

Also, after rhinoplasty, the skin becomes very sensitive,

so the pressure from glasses may leave noticeable marks on the nose.

For the implant to settle properly after nasal surgery, enough time is needed, and while the procedure itself is important, aftercare is also very important.

What if you absolutely have to wear glasses?

If you have a situation where you need to wear glasses after rhinoplasty, first, it is best to get guidance from the surgeon on the appropriate timing, based on the patient’s condition.

Generally, not wearing them for about one month is recommended, and depending on recovery, after one month you may lightly rest the glasses on the nose in a way that does not irritate the surgical area.

Another important factor here is the weight of the glasses. The glasses should not be heavy; they should be light.

The heavier the glasses, the stronger the pressure on the nasal bridge, so preparing a lightweight pair before surgery may also be a good idea.

Since you will need to manage your nose consistently after surgery, even when it becomes possible to wear glasses after rhinoplasty, it is best to use glasses that are lightweight and do not irritate the nose.

When Can You Start Wearing Glasses?

Generally, not wearing them for about one month is recommended, and in some cases, considering the patient’s skin condition, the type of implant, and the surgical method, not wearing them for up to six months after surgery may be recommended.

Some people become uncomfortable with contact lenses and end up wearing glasses in the middle of recovery and worrying about it. But to maintain the results for a long time and help the nose line settle ideally, it is better to endure the temporary inconvenience, right?

Common Questions After Nasal Surgery

Rhinoplasty is popular, but there are many things to be careful about. That is why patients often have many questions, such as wearing glasses after rhinoplasty. I’ll briefly explain some additional frequently asked questions.

1. When can I return to daily life?

For about one month after surgery,

the nasal bones are not yet fully fixed, so you should be careful to avoid any impact to the nose.

As mentioned earlier regarding wearing glasses after nasal surgery, the period may vary depending on each patient’s condition.

It is best to avoid hard foods, or bending your head down.

Sleeping face up is also recommended.

Usually, normal activities such as washing your face and showering are possible after one week.

2. How long should I avoid alcohol and smoking?

Smoking and drinking can cause inflammation, so it is best to avoid them for at least one month.

Smoking and drinking slow recovery and greatly increase the likelihood of inflammation, so please hold off for a while for a faster recovery.

3. Can I stop taking my medication?

The antibiotics prescribed to prevent inflammation should be taken regularly as instructed when they were prescribed at the hospital and pharmacy.

4. When will the bruising and swelling go away?

After nasal plastic surgery, bruising or swelling around the eyes may occur. This varies depending on the individual patient and the method used. When bruising and swelling appear, ice packs and light walks can help with recovery.

5. When can I start exercising?

For vigorous exercise such as gym workouts, running, swimming, and aerobics, which many people do these days, it is appropriate to start after one month, when the nasal bones have settled sufficiently.
