Compression indentation - garment too tight? Permanent?

It is perfectly normal to see indents from your compression garment. Don't worry, they are not permanent. It is best to adjust the garment frequently so the indentions are not in the same area all the time. You can also line areas with gauze or pads. Reston foam is a material that can be worn under a garment (usually in the abdominal area) to keep it lying smooth. 

A pressure garment is too tight if you have trouble breathing or too much discomfort from the garment. All patients get some indents and lines from the garment, especially along the zipper area. These go away once the garment is off for several hours just like sleep wrinkles go away. I have never seen in 33 years of liposuction a permanent problem caused by the garment. If you are concerned discuss with your surgeon.
