Permanent Indentations from Liposuction Compression Garment?

This means that your garment is not fitted right and in any case needs to be changed. When creases as your describe take place it is important to correct the situation promptly including if a proper garment can not be fitted to go with out one. Return to your plastic surgeon for this discussion and remedy.

Compression garments are very important after liposuction surgery to help with swelling and bruising. However, the garments need to fit well and also provide smooth compression. If your garments are too tight and compresses in one area, there is a chance the indentations to become permanent. If you notice this happening in the early period, you will want to switch to a different garment like spanks, bicycle shorts, or even pantyhose. Massaging will help smooth out the area. External ultrasound can also help.

Compression garment use can cause permanent indentations. Patients should let their Dr. know if this is happening. It is best to always check for areas of indentation and adjust the garments and perhaps change the garment or add padding.
Sometimes external ultrasound treatments(Dermawave) can help smooth these out. Don't panic because it is still early in your healing and things will change as time goes on. But let your Dr. Know.

Hi.

My advice is don't worry. The indentations will probably soften with time. But this is one of the reasons we have stopped garments for most liposuction patients.  Short term problems and no long term advantages.
