Introduction
Generally speaking, after undergoing rhinoplasty, patients usually cannot wear glasses immediately; however, if the rhinoplasty has been completed and the recovery period has passed, wearing glasses is permissible. Rhinoplasty mainly involves transplanting materials such as hyaluronic acid, autologous cartilage, silicone, or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) into the nasal structure to increase the height or width of the nose, or to reshape its contour.

Generally, after undergoing rhinoplasty, it is usually not advisable to wear glasses immediately; however, if the recovery period has passed, wearing glasses is acceptable. Rhinoplasty mainly involves transplanting materials such as hyaluronic acid, autologous cartilage, silicone, or expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) into the nasal area to increase the height or width of the nose or alter its contour. The typical reference price for rhinoplasty ranges from 8,000 to 40,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement generally visible within 5-7 days, although this procedure should be performed at a正规 hospital. Detailed analysis is as follows:

After rhinoplasty surgery, there is typically a critical recovery period during which wearing glasses is not recommended. Specifically, in the early postoperative phase, there may be significant swelling and bruising in the nasal area, and the stability of the nose is relatively poor. Wearing glasses might exert additional pressure on the nose, potentially causing implant displacement or affecting the healing process, thereby compromising the surgical outcome and the shaping of the nasal contour.

If the recovery period after rhinoplasty has passed and the nasal shape has become relatively stable without any discomfort or complications, it is acceptable to wear glasses. However, when selecting glasses, it is advisable to choose lightweight and comfortable frames, avoiding overly heavy or tight frames to prevent unnecessary pressure and injury to the nose.

During the process of wearing glasses, close attention should be paid to any reaction from the nose. If any discomfort or abnormalities occur, glasses should be removed immediately and medical advice should be sought promptly.
