New compression garment left indent in waist from bunching while sitting. Have I caused damage? Should I stop wearing it?(photo)

Hello, thanks for your question and provided information. You can use your compression garment, but you can use a cotton tshirt inside, with epi foam or compression to reduce marks. Always garments feel tight and hard on fabrics. Good luck!
Advantages:
One treatment may be all you need to reshape problem areas
Treat more areas—and larger areas—in one procedure
May be performed with either local or general anesthesia
More consistent and predictable result than noninvasive treatments
Liposuction, sometimes referred to as "lipo" by patients, slims and reshapes specific areas of the body by removing excess fat deposits and improving your body contours and proportion.
Different areas of treatment:
Thighs
Hips and buttocks
Abdomen and waist
Upper arms
Back
Inner knee
Chest area
Cheeks, chin and neck
Calves and ankles
Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.
What liposuction can do?
Liposuction is not a treatment for obesity or a substitute for proper diet and exercise.
It is also not an effective treatment for cellulite—the dimpled skin that typically appears on the thighs, hips and buttocks—or loose saggy skin.

Thank you for your question. Every office is different in their recommendations. We measure the patient preop and order the appropriate garment which we put on the patient at the end of surgery. The next day I place Epifoam (soft, thick foam) inside the garment over the abdomen and lower back. This avoids the hooks or zipper making dents into the swollen tissues. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck with your healing.

Dear ibelieve1968,compression garments can sometimes cause problems, but it is hard to tell without an examination. If you are concerned, I would suggest you to consult your plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hello, thank you for your question and photos. From the pictures alone it does not seem like you would have caused damage, rather these types of indents are normal from wearing tight garments, even certain clothing can sometimes cause similar indents on the skin. To be safe however, and above all to know if your compression garment is too tight and if you need a new one, you must consult with your plastic surgeon. An in person appointment may even be necessary to determine if you should keep wearing this compression garment, perhaps with a t shirt inside it to lessen the marks on your skin, or if you need to be fitted for a new one. Good luck!
