Usually knee bracing is not necessary after meniscus surgery, but that is between you and your knee surgeon.
It’s optimal for resection. Usually for repairs.

A brace is not necessary after typical meniscus surgery where a portion of the meniscus is removed (meniscectomy). If the meniscus is being repaired with sutures, a brace is usually required for approximately 6 weeks.
