Can I wear a padded (not push-up) sports bra 2 weeks post-op breast augmentation surgery?

laylalove426
I bought a Leonisa posture bra to wear post-op, but I also want to wear my padded front closure sports bras as well. Do I need to remove the padding, or is it okay to leave in? The nurse told me I needed something a little tighter that pushed my breasts together slightly & the surgical bra they initially provided for me didn’t have enough compression to do so. I’m also currently wearing a band 24/7.
