Why should the cast be removed after 14 days?

zwiftyone
I did about 1 week ago a Rhinoplasty removing my hump and fixing the tip as it was hanging down. Now my question is my surgeon told me to remove my cast after 14 days which is 2 weeks but I need to work soon, so do you think its possible to remove the cast after 10-11 days instead of 14? and what is the healing process and why is it needed that long? btw my swollen eyes was gone after 2 days so I guess my healing process was quicker then others. thanks in advance
