Is too much compression a bad idea?

September 10, 2014
Asked By:Sonnybutters in Kansas City, MO

I had my breast implants removed yesterday morning and I'm wondering if at this point if it's possible to have too much compression? I'm wanting to wear a sports bra over my ace wrap to keep the ace in place. Is that a bad idea?
