Does Tight Dressing Help to Bring Breast Closer Together?

vanearoki
8 days postop.My doc put a band really tight around my breast. I'd had a lot of pain, swelling, pressure and fever.I couldn't move fast and I was feeling terrible until I removed the band for my next doc's appointment.I've been without it 1 day (only wearing surgical bra) and I can move faster and almost without pain.My doc says that I must wear the band for 1 month because it will help me to have less gap between them.Does it really help to achieve less gap between my breast in the long term?Thx
