Which type of bra to wear after breast implant removal?

I just had my one month old implants removed on Monday (August 10th). It was a simple explant done under local. No removal of capsules, no drains. My PS sent me home in a surgical bra, no tight bandages or anything. I asked the nurse when I could switch to a sports bra and she told me I can wear ANY bra I'm comfortable in. I feel as though they aren't as eager to help since I asked for an explant. How long would you recommend I wait before switching to a regular bra? Thank you!
