I recently received liposuction in the abdomen, back and flanks. Unfortunately the compression garment created a DEEP crease on my side. At my 4 week check up, my surgeon was quite alarmed at the indentation the garment had made. At the time of my check up he aggressively tried to release the crease, but it was as hard as a rock. Will I need additional surgery to get this crease out? Surgeon is recommending lymphatic massages, but I feel like this will have little improvement.
