Introduction
In general, "doing the nose" refers to undergoing rhinoplasty (nasal plastic surgery). If a simple rhinoplasty procedure was performed and the wound heals well, it is usually safe to wear glasses 2 to 4 months after surgery. However, if a complex rhinoplasty was performed or the wound healing is poor, it is generally recommended to wait 4 to 6 months post-surgery before wearing glasses.

Generally speaking, "doing the nose" refers to undergoing nasal plastic surgery. The time frame for when one can wear glasses after nasal plastic surgery depends on factors such as the type of surgery performed and the individual's recovery progress. If a simple nasal procedure was performed and the wound heals well, it is usually acceptable to wear glasses 2-4 months post-surgery. However, if a more complex nasal surgery was performed or the wound healing is suboptimal, it is generally recommended to wait 4-6 months before wearing glasses. Detailed explanations are as follows:

For relatively simple nasal procedures such as implant rhinoplasty or tip塑形 (tip shaping), the postoperative recovery period is comparatively shorter. If proper postoperative care is provided, the wound heals quickly, and there are no adverse reactions such as pain, hematoma, or infection, it is usually acceptable to wear glasses 2-4 months after surgery.

For more complex nasal surgeries involving two or more areas, such as comprehensive rhinoplasty, the postoperative recovery time may be longer. If postoperative care is inadequate, wound healing is delayed, and symptoms such as redness, swelling, infection, or bleeding occur, it is generally recommended to wait 4-6 months before wearing glasses, to avoid excessive pressure on the nose.

During the postoperative recovery period, it is important to protect the nose and avoid forcefully squeezing or bumping it, to prevent affecting the nose's shape and function.
