Are Creases Formed by the Post-Op Garment Normal and Will They Go Away?

I had my bra area and love handles done 11 days ago and the areas ive treated are still numbed and creases have formed in a couple of areas, is that normal and if it is how long does it usually take to go away?

A: creases in skin from garments

Creases from compression garments after liposuction can be common. They are in most cases temporary and resolve as the edema (swelling) decreases and the healing process progresses.  It is important to make certain that your garment fits well and there are no wrinkles.  In addition, gentle massage in the post operative care period can help with edema reduction and smoothing of any irregularities. Always remember to follow your surgeons recommendations in this regard.
