Has Wearing the Wrong Garment Done Damage?

shelleywelly
I am almost 2weeks postop for lipo on my lovehandles. When I went to my 1 week check up, I was told I had the wrong garment on, a male 1! That is the garment they provided me,so I was wearing it for just over a week before they sent me a new, correct garment. the wrong garment whilst wearing it, used to dig in and bunch up + now I have indentations in my sides in my lipo areas. I am very worried these indents are permanent. Has wearing the wrong garment for a week done me permanent damage?
