How can I prevent indentations, lines or creases after lipo? Just had it done one month ago, 6/14/14. (Photo)

Asked By:Lola _ Monroe in East Brunswick, NJ

Is there something I can do differently to prevent the lines/indentations? Am I healing correctly? I'm very worried about permanent lines/creases/indentations. I only wear my garment at night while I'm asleep. I don't know what to do to prevent this. Please help!! I love my results. But I'm afraid these lines will become permanent. I haven't been wearing anything tight around my stomach, only dresses.
