How many days after an otoplasty should i wear a bandage around my head/ears?

whydoyouwanttoknowmyname
My doctor said that i will wear a bandage around my head for 3 days and later an elastic band only at night for 1 month.I was wondering is 3 days a small amount of time?should i wear the bandages longer?Also i will perform otoplasty only on one of my ears as the other one is normal.Does performing an otoplasty in both of the ears give a better resault?If so should i do one in my case?
