Is it normal for a horizontal crease to be in the middle of my stomach from the faja after lipo?

January 31, 2016
Asked By:Islandbaddie in Colombia, CO

When I sit down, the compression garment sinks horizontally in the middle of my stomach leaving a crease in the middle of my stomach across my belly button straight around my back. It's been 10 days post op and I'm still swollen but a line is coming from that crease in the faja and I'm afraid of healing like this
