Can a bra provide too much compression?

Next steps
Following breast lift/fat transfer augmentation required to wear surgical bra and then sports bras for several weeks - to provide 'some' compression to stabilize breast tissue while healing. Wondering if it is possible to have too much compression, not just after surgery (especially with fat transfer) but in general when there has been no surgery/augmentation?
