Surgeon persists I wear underwire post BR. Is this normal?

kristy9230
I am six days post a breast reduction. My surgeon insists I wear a underwire bra during full recovery in order to shape my breast correctly. This is the opposite of what I am reading everywhere else. Not to mention extremely uncomfortable. Does anybody understand this or know if this is normal?
