I had surgery less than a week ago and the compression garment I have on is making these ugly creases in my body. As u can see in the photo, the drainage hose was on my hip it feels nasty. Will my skin come back to normal after a few weeks? I'm a bit worried.

Answer: Will these creases go away? (photo) Hi. You can relax. It looks like you may have had lipo also. When you apply the garment just make surevthatbthendrian tubes come out the button and double up within the garment. Theses marks will absolutely go away. Good luck Dr PG

Answer: Will the creases go away? I have done hundreds of tummy tucks and body contouring procedures and have never seen a crease from a compression garment become permanent and I almost always use compression garments and they almost always leave creases. Your drain will hopefully come out soon and if the compression garment is particularly uncomfortable or you are worried about the creases, ask your surgeon if it would be OK to switch to spanx instead, which usually leaves no creases. But rest assured, the creases will resolve. Best of luck with your recovery!
