Would a compression bra help capsular contracture?

sorryyousawupmynose
It's not too severe at this point, mild discomfort and slight misshape (a bit of flattening at the bottom of the breast) in left breast. I am massaging daily and doing chest exercises. My question is this, would it be better to wear a compression bra, or no bra at all to help things along. The breast feels much better when I wear a compression bra (relieves a bit of the discomfort); however, I am concerned that I am doing the opposite of what I should be doing by wearing a compression bra.
