How long after nosejob is it necessary to wear a plaster bandage?

I am thinking about nose surgery but the idea of wearing a plaster bandage scares me. How long does it have to be worn? When will I be able to go out after the operation?

I remove it 5-6 days after the surgery

Any packing or splints will be removed after the first week, although is necessary to wear the splint for an additional week.

The plaster bandage has usually to be worn for about a week. Anyway, as far as the "plaster look" doesn't embarrass, the patient can freely go out even few days after surgery.
