Do stints really need to stay in for 4 wks after septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and septal perforation repair.

I had a Septorhinoplasty, turbinate reduction and septal perforation repair 3 days ago (all due to a previous surgery that caused perforations). My surgeon has said he wants to keep the stints in my nose for 4 weeks but I’m just so uncomfortable I really don’t think I could cope having them this long, I’m already really struggling with the discomfort. Is there any reason why they would need to be in this long? Everywhere I’ve read has said they stay in around a week.
