Mask for use after septoplasty

I follow this forum for some time now, and I want to thank you all for the invaluable input for choosing equipment, buying it (cpap.com was about 4 times cheaper than home price) and most of all for the support on overcoming initial issues of cpap treatment.
With the distant help of every member that posted its experience I managed to be 100% compliant starting from the 1st day after the titration study in December 2006.
As I'm due to have septoplasty in June, my question to those that had such an operation is which mask is better suited for use after the intervention. My ENT says he will insert tubular bandages that will allow me to use the mask (currently a Comfort Gel) but I not so sure. Do I need a FFM? Could you recommend a model?

I wouldn't use any mask that pushes on the end of your nose like a swift or breeze, I'd use conventional cushion mask that goes over the outside one that is larger than you normally would wear would probably even be better.

I have a ComfortCurve but of course I wouldn't use it for some time after the operation.
However, would the Comfort Gel be OK? It is quite large (size L).
