Dressing Change After TT?

LA007
My PS office informed me that my dressing will not be changed until 1 week of surgery. What is the general norm, I hear reviews where ppl are having their tummy tuck dressing change 1 -3 days after surgery. I am worried about the infection if not changed with first few days. My PS office said thats how they do it. Any insight will be helpful.
