Dent in my leather seats (Honda Civic Touring 2025)

I took my car to a detailing place for a full interior/exterior cleaning, and the next day I noticed these indentations in the back seats.

I’m pretty sure they weren’t there before the detailing, but unfortunately I didn’t take any photos or videos of the interior beforehand. I contacted the detailer and they’re saying they didn’t cause them.

Has anyone had something like this happen with leather seats? Is it likely that something heavy was left sitting on the seats during the detailing or the result of vacuuming?

I had something similar happen when I first bought the car. The Honda dealership left my summer tires with the rims sitting on the back seat, which left a pretty noticeable dent. They told me it would eventually go away on its own, and it actually did.

Do these look like the same kind of temporary pressure marks? Is there a good chance they’ll disappear or at least flatten out over time, or should I be concerned that they’re permanent?

Also, if anyone knows a safe way to help the leather return to its original shape without damaging it, I’d appreciate any advice
