Question:

What kind of bandages will I be wearing after the surgery?

Answer:

It all depends on the surgeon's choice, but most patients will be given a mummy-bandage around the head, with holes for the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The plastic surgeon will usually apply a lighter bandage the following day, and after 2-7 days the bandages can be removed completely.
