Why did my PS tell me to not wear a bra after my breast reduction surgery?

jdl8690
I woke up from surgery expecting to be in bandages or in a surgical bra, but it was neither. I had dressings and tape over the areas that were working on but for the most part I could see my whole chest. when I left the next day my PS said no bra, at all. Everything Im reading is saying that I need to be wearing a bra all the time.Why is this and is it going to hurt me in the long run? I have no stitched or anything just glue that was removed 5 days after surgery along with my drains.
