Can I take off my tape for a few hours a day after rhinoplasty?

Asked By:Vivoro in Manchester, GA

I had a rhinoplasty done 11 days ago and already had the splint,cast off 1 week later After removal of the cast and stitches the doctor taped my nose and gave me an appointment to "renew" the tape the following week. would be okay to take the tape off for a few hours to go to class without being stared at Please don’t tell me to ask my surgeon as i cant right now. I had a dorsal hump shave and they told me they re-positioned the nose to be straight as it was slanted (11 days ago)
