For how many hours do you have to wear the bandage after an otoplasty? Can you remove it for just a few minutes?

Hi, monday i had my otoplasy and everything went well, the doctor said i have to leave the bandage around my head for 48 hours and after that just gently wash the hair. After the 2 days I have to wear the bandage every night for a week. Is the advice correct? I still wear the bandage during the day because on the internet they say you have to wear it for a week..
