Cartilage: THe rhinoplasty involves altering delicate cartilage that makes up the majority of your nose shape. The weight and shape of the glasses has the potential to alter the shape and interfere with proper healing.

Rhinoplasty/glasses: It is very important for you to follow your surgeon's postop instructions. Only your surgeon knows what maneuvers were performed in the surgery. Most likely avoiding the weight of glasses is to optimize the healing of the nasal bones.
