Permanent Indentations from Liposuction Compression Garment?

Rachel_Newbie
I had Liposuction 3 weeks ago on my inner and outer thighs. Since the surgery, I have been wearing a compression garment (stage 1) at all times, as instructed. Today, I chose not to wear the compression garment, but instead wore compression pantyhose. Then tonight while changing, I noticed that I have indentations running vertically along my inner thighs where the compression garment seams have been resting. It seems strange that they are still there after wearing the pantyhose all day. Is it possible that I have permanent indentations from the compression garment seams? What should I do?
