Wearing compression garments made my butt flat. Will it go back to normal?

I had liposuction of my upper and lower abdomen, bra rolls and waist. I loved my butt already!! Now the garment is squeezing it in and when I take it off my butt looks flatter.

I prefer temporary use of Ace wraps until drains are removed and drainage has stopped, and most of the immediate postoperative edema is stabilized. After this, fitted compression garments are preferred; I typically recommend for 6-8 weeks, or until almost all of the edema has resolved.
