Could I have damaged ear after otoplasty by slightly bending it and removing scabs?

napoleon867
I bent one ear forward when trying to clean out dried blood behind my ear. I felt only slight pain for a second and no bleeding. How easy is it to rip a suture? I realized that some of the dried blood I removed may have actually been small scabs...no pain/bleeding, so do I need to worry? Also: 28 days after date of procedure I will be rooming with friends. I am embarrassed to wear a headband to sleep and am wondering if it would be much of a problem if I didn't wear it for just 3 nights.
