Can a compression garment worn after lipo cause permanent indents?

Asked By:ariel020106 in Phoenix, AZ

Hello, I had lipo of my abs, flanks, and lower back 3 weeks ago and have been wearing a compression garment since. I was wearing epifoam to protect my abdomen, but I broke out in a rash. My garment has a zipper in the front and when I sit down, it dents in. When I took of my garment yesterday, I noticed my stomach is indented in the same area the garment zipper dents in. Is this going to be permanent? Should I stop wearing my garment? I feel more comfortable with it on.
