I still have packing in my nose. My surgeon says it will dissolve in 2-3 days. Should I be worried?

Hi doctors, I still have packing in my nose 3 days after surgery. My surgeon had said the packing was of the disolveable type and would be gone in 2-3 days after surgery. I'm now freaking out a little that, if they stay in til my splint is removed (in 4 days time!) it may ruin my overall result. ...and with a full 7 days dry blood included, be very painful! Now it's the weekend, i can't ask my surgeon til Monday at the earliest. Any advice is most welcome and very much appreciated!
