Chin Implant Tape/dressing? Could I just remove it myself on the day of the presentation?

dd22
Hello, I am getting a chin implant soon and the doctor told me I would have tape and a dressing applied to the chin area for about a week. However, I have to be out in public a week after surgery to give a brief presentation at my work and my follow-up post op visit is the day after this presentation. Could I just remove it myself on the day of the presentation and just be sure to take care and wash the area appropriately? Thank you for any information
