Why is it necessary to wear a compression wrap or tight sports bra after breast explant surgery?

Why is it absolutely necessary to wear the sports bra compression after breast explant surgery. I had drains for 1 week, and my incisions are healing fine. But I’m still concave and squished and wearing this compression seems to make it worse. Thank you
