Will Lipo Garment Seam Creasing Cause Permanent Lines?

Thanks for the photos. First, you still has edema and swelling from your liposuction. The indentation is temporary. There are ways to minimize the creasing from your garment such as using foam padding or find another brand of garment for a better fit. Your surgeon should be able to help you with this. You should not feel bad about calling your surgeon's office regarding this. Your postop care is just as important as your surgery. At end of the day, both your surgeon and you want the best result possible.

Best Wishes,

 

 

It is unlikely that the creases will cause permanent lines. You can shift the garment around a tiny bit to avoid creasing in the same spot all the time if you'd like. However, if you are concerned and want to get a different size or even brand, you should never worry about calling your surgeon at this time - any reputable surgeon will gladly help! They are there to help you achieve your desired results, and the recovery process is a crucial step toward obtaining your results.

Thank you for the question and photos. Although it is unlikely that you will end up with permanent crease marks, try your garment inside out so the seam is outside. Good luck.

   The seams of the compression garment can be slightly moved to eradicate pressure and distribute it over different areas.  The lines of compression are not as likely to cause contour deformity as any portion of the skin that is wrinkled by the compression garment.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

It is unlikely that the seam of your garment will cause a permanent indentation of your skin following liposuction. What you can do to minimize this risk is to make sure that it doesn't compress the same exact area day after day. With some garments, if you wear it inside-out where the seams are then on the outside, you can potentially avert any problem
