Indentation at waist after liposuction (Photo)

atey1
Hello! I just got liposuction about five days ago on my lower back/posterior waist and axillary region. I know it takes a while for the swelling/bruising to go down, but i'm seeing a large indentation at my waist which I'm unsure as to whether it is cause for concern, or if it has to do with the garment. It looks like there is a good amount of swelling still and hardness around the indentation, but I'm curious what others think.
