Single mastectomy

Hello, 

I have just had a single mastectomy right side. I was wondering if I wear my post op bra or should i not wear one  any while I have my drainage in? Will my bras rub on my stitches & drain? I know when I had 4 lumpectomy they said wear your bra all the time.

    i also had single rhs Mx in june. I wouldnt wear the bra, it will aggravate everything, which you do not want. My drain was in for 3 weeks. wait till its out and see how it feels. i tried not long after and it hurt everything, it was winter so i had 20 layers on and was quite different. go slowly
