I am 6 days post-op with tumescent lipo and a BA. How tight is too tight for the compression garment? When sitting or laying down, the zipper may bunch causing a piece to dig into my side creating an indentation. Is that normal? I'm just worried that it's going to create a permanent indentation! Is that even possible? Thanks so much!
Answer: Compression indentation - garment too tight? Permanent? It is always best to check with your PS, but in my experience, this is very normal for this stage of healing. It is not safe to continue to wear a very tight compression garment when you are a 4-6 weeks out from surgery or longer as indentations in the same place over time and create a permanent indentation.

Answer: Compression indentation - garment too tight? Permanent? That sounds completely normal for a garment within the first week. As swelling comes down it will loosen. If you are concerned then go see your surgeon to be examined. Best of luck!

Answer: Indentions after liposuction It is perfectly normal to see indents from your compression garment. Don't worry, they are not permanent. It is best to adjust the garment frequently so the indentions are not in the same area all the time. You can also line areas with gauze or pads. Reston foam is a material that can be worn under a garment (usually in the abdominal area) to keep it lying smooth.

Answer: Compression garment too tight? A pressure garment is too tight if you have trouble breathing or too much discomfort from the garment. All patients get some indents and lines from the garment, especially along the zipper area. These go away once the garment is off for several hours just like sleep wrinkles go away. I have never seen in 33 years of liposuction a permanent problem caused by the garment. If you are concerned discuss with your surgeon.
