Wearing Glasses

Answer: 
  • If a cast is in place on the nose, it is ok to wear the glasses; once the cast is removed, the underlying nasal bones are no longer protected so we ask that you either refrain from glasses for 5 weeks or tape them to your forehead
  • If facelift surgery is performed, the glasses may rub on the incisions behind the ear, especially if they are excessively tight. It is best to avoid them or tape them to your forehead or wear them higher on the sides of your head for the first 5 weeks
  • If any eyelid surgery is performed, it is ok to start using contact lenses after the first week. You must be very careful during insertion and removal to not cause excessive trauma to the incision lines
