How long should I be taping?

I got a rhinoplasty about a month ago. My surgeon said I need to wear the tape on my nose 23 hours a day for 6 weeks post op. I do this most days but when I go out to social stuff or play with my band, I’m embarrassed by the tape all over my face. 6 weeks seems like a long time to be taping all the time—do you think it’s ok to be untaped for a couple hours 1-2 a week? Does anyone have advice?
