I was very pleased with the outcome of surgery right away. I had the common lipo along with gland removal on one side only. After one week of wearing the compression garnet I wore an under armor one underneath it to prevent the itchiness. I did this on a Wednesday night and kept it on until friday morning.

After I removed it I noticed I had creasings throughout my body like anybody gets when they keep something on too long. Obviously creasing formed under the garnet because when I removed the garnet, I developed a crease on the outer middle part of my chest that will not fade. It has now been a week and it is still the same, minor fading if any. It is not that noticeable if I hold my skin back or hold my shoulders back.

I met with the surgeon yesterday to get my stitches out and he said I shouldn't worry, and nothing he can do now about it. Many surgeons on here suggest that it will fade over time. 15 days since surgery and 7 since I noticed the crease. Would wearing the compression garnet 24/7 not let the crease pop out? or would wearing it make the chest form all together? this is where I am confused. When I go to sleep the garnet forms to the crease and wrinkles and makes it worse. I almost want to put a hard piece of paper over the chest to insure flatness. The surgeon said not to do that tho. I do not know how minor or major this is, and anybody has seen this before be resolved overtime. I just hope this crease comes out because I don't have the money to get a fat graft. Any help?

Pics attached.

I wore my compression garment for 6 weeks 24/7, took it off only to shower.  For a couple months afterwards I had creases on both sides, increasingly visible as I flexed. Now at 6 month post op I don't have any creases, just a bit of scar tissue on my left side. 
I think that you should let your body heal and avoid the mirror as much as possible.  Pictures look great btw.

Good luck!

So you had similar creasing to those in the picture? I just find it hard to believe it will pop out randomly one day.
