Is a tighter bra better to help control swelling after breast reduction? (photos)

Asked By:LMM67 in Rochester NY

I am 29 days post op from breast reduction and continue to have considerable swelling along with t-junction issues. I have various size sports bras I have purchased for recovery. First week of surgery tighter option was painful. Now that pain is minimal, I am wondering if it's better to have a bit more compression with a tighter bra rather than loose?
