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!

Answer: Compression garment too tight? 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.

Answer: Garments If the zipper is digging in, then place a piece of foam under that area so it is smooth. Compression too tight can cause indentions. Please discuss your concerns with your surgeon's office.
