I wore a pull over compression garment after gynecomastia gland excision and had to stretch my arms up? Did this cause damage?

I had to lift my hands up immediately after surgery to put on a pullover compression garment. I felt slight pain and stretching at the incision. Could this possibly cause a widened scar or a hematoma or cause wound healing issues?
