Large crease in neck 3 days after chin/neck lipo, will this go away? (photos)

jayellebeeeFeb 3, 2018

I've just has chin and neck lipo 3 days ago and the compression garment has left a large crease on one side of my neck. The other side is perfectly normal (meaning no crease, but of course still swollen) I know it's early, but I want to make sure that this crease will not be here forever. Will this go away as time passes or has the tightness of the compression garment creased me forever?!?!?!
