Capsulorrhaphy: How critical is it to wear a bra during healing? I did not and one breast bottomed out. (photo)

Black Dress
A capsulorrhaphy (on rib) was done after I decided to change my 10 year-old implants. I went from 270cc (saline) to 345cc (gel Natrelle Inspira SSF). How critical is it to wear a bra during healing? Because I did not and one breast bottomed out. How likely is it that this is the cause? A young doctor did the operation. A couple of weeks after the surgery I probed him on whether it was important to wear a bra during healing time, he insisted that it wasn't a must, hence why he did not mention it.
