When I stop wearing compression vest, it looks a bit more swollen. Is this normal?

So I wore my compression vest for 3 weeks before being allowed to take it off. During the time I had to wear it, I took it off briefly to shower and it was flat. When I stopped wearing my compression vest it was still flat but a bit more swollen looking. Is this normal?
