How to wear a headband after otoplasty?

josh1992
I had otoplasty performed 3 days ago and i was instructed to wear a headband after the dressing was removed. My question is how should I wear the headband? Should it be tight? Does it have to cover my entire ear (I have big ears so a normal headband wont cover the entire thing)? Do I necessarily have to wear a headband or can I wrap my head with an elastic fabric? I do not want the telephone affect look.
