Compression garment after abdominal liposuction: Skin is folding

February 5, 2014
Asked By:Di352 in Miami, FL

I have a compression garment on after abdominal liposuction. I have noted that on some parts (specially midsection of the abdoment) my skin is folding, specially when I seat. Am not sure if this is entirely the compression grament's fault. Will this disapper or do I need to wear something else to make this fold go away?
