Abdominal binder or faja ~ possible for them to be worn too tight? If so, how can you tell? (Photo)

Asked By:BridgittD

I have the standard post operative swelling and gauze or abdominal pads under the binder/faja will leave marks/depressions in my skin (the binder/faja alone also leave marks). A line also forms under my belly button (but I am able to massage it away). Note, my belly button looks dark here, but there is healthy skin within and some scab (bad picture). Anyway, are these marks/lines indicators that I’m wearing my binder too tight? Seeing my surgeon soon but don’t want to damage anything!
