Is the bra normally uncomfortable/painful after a breast reduction?

cnicholls
I am 7 days post op breast reduction I was discharged with just bandages. I am healing really well no bleeding or discharge. The seristrip came off my nipple and you can barely tell it was cut. Problem is I really don't want to wear a bra because it hurts my incisions are very sore under my breast. My bra fits but should I maybe buy something bigger? Lose fit?
