Compression indentation - garment too tight? Permanent?

November 3, 2015
Asked By:skinnymanda in Madison, WI

I am 6 days post-op with tumescent lipo and a BA. How tight is too tight for the compression garment? When sitting or laying down, the zipper may bunch causing a piece to dig into my side creating an indentation. Is that normal? I'm just worried that it's going to create a permanent indentation! Is that even possible? Thanks so much!
