Is it totally necessary to wear nose cast 24/7 for 2 weeks after rhinoplasty?

My board certified cosmetic surgeon is ADAMANT about his patients wearing the external nose cast for 14 days post op, regardless how involved a patient's rhinoplasty was. I've read extensively online that many board-certified doctors only require their patients to wear the cast during the day for 5-7 days. Is my surgeon just being extra cautious? His assistant told me that even a week after surgery, the nasal bones were still "floating around" inside my nose.
