Would you use a hip brace after a hip arthroscopy?

My Dr says I need to have an arthroscopy on my hip. The PA then fitted me for a brace. After being fitted, she told me that she wasn't sure how much it would cost depending on if my insurance paid any or how much. She said they would contact me if it cost over $400. Then she told me I didn't HAVE to use it if I chose not to, that it was to limit how far I could raise my knee towards my chest. Has anyone used one and if so, did it help enough to pay that much? Has anyone not used one and wished they had?

Thanks
