Indentation (crease in compression garment) Am I right to worry or will this be fine in my long term result? (photo)

October 5, 2016
Asked By:K3284 in United Kingdom, GB

I've just come out of surgery today and now back home, everything went well but I'm worried about this crease in my garnent. Please note there is padding above and below this crease which is probably why it's indented but I am really worried this indent could cause a permanent crease in my skin. I keep trying to pull this straight because I can't relax.  Would really appreciate any advice.
