Will wearing an N95 mask 2 weeks after a rhinoplasty cause problems or alter results?

AGirlFromItaly
I am planning to have a rhinoplasty in the future. I have a problem, though: my company requires employees to wear an N95 mask. I wonder if this could cause problems during healing (I would try to shape the metal part so that it does not press on the nasal septum). I plan to take two weeks off work after the operation, so at least I wouldn't be wearing one until then. Could be this a problem?
