What kind of a mask (PPE) should I wear right after a Rhinoplasty to protect myself from Covid?

Asked By:Bk1077 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

I am planning to get a rhinoplasty & am wondering what kind of mask or other PPE to wear after the surgery, specifically something that would not put pressure on my nose bridge & cheeks but still be protective? I will also be travelling soon afterwards and would like to be fully protected during the flight. Also, if I was to get Covid after the surgery, could it affect the rhinoplasty results? Rhinoplasty reasons: breathing & cosmetic issues. Please advise!! Thank you in advance
