Nexplanon healing

So my doctor told me not to take the tape off of my Nexplanon implant site for 5 days, so she wanted me to take it off on Sunday, but the tape was falling off and the bandage was gross, so I took it off today.
I put a bandaid on over the little sore that the implantation device left, but I think it's okay for the most part. It's bruised and sore but I figured that was normal.
Anyone else with Nexplanon take their bandage off earlier than the doctor said?
