Hi Isaidso
For me the surgery healing was excellent .i went back to surgeon a couple of times for fluid build up. Each time underarm relief was immediate.
Driving at about 4 weeks .
Had an under arm pillow a smaller version of a flight neck rest given by a local zonta group.
slight lymphodema 3 months later saw a physio for some arm massage skills still do these mainly in winter 5 years later.

Personally found it difficult to sleep with a restrictive top
Good luck with healing
