I'm having a turbinate reduction surgery, post op will i have to wear any sort of bandaging??

Maybe : Depending on the oozing, you might need to wear a mustache type dressing for a day or so. That is just to catch the blood that might drip. My patients are usually able to take it off later that day or the next. Ask your surgeon what you should expect. It is a good procedure and had worked well for my patients.
