Would my incision heal better if I switch to comfortable sports bra from surgical bra? I'm 10 days post-op.

I'm 10 days post-op (400cc overs). 5 days ago my very tight surgical bra put too much pressure on the right inframmary incision and caused pain and a little bleeding. At first I didn't get that the bra caused it but as soon as I realized it ( since yesterday) I switched to sports bras, which fit way better. Will my incision heal by itself, even if it's a little traumatized? I'm feeling way better now since there's no pressure anymore.
