Creasing After Compression Garment After Lipo. What Causes These?

suzimiller
I had abdomen, waste and hip liposuction almost 2 weeks ago and I notice that there are indentations around stomach from waistbands. While they eventually disappear, I'm wondering what this is caused from and do I have to worry that clothing could potentially cause unwanted creasing in my skin? I'm following post surgery instructions and wearing the compression garment for most of the day, but when I took it off today for a few hours I had very ugly creasing from sitting. Thank you!
