What Causes Indentations On The Skin Upon Applying Pressure?

Hi, I am a fit 42 year old female. I m noticing indentations on my skin when I get out of bed. I sometimes see these indentations after laying down for 5-10 minutes. I haven t really noticed this before so I am wondering what the cause may be. I am looking on-line and I see this may be caused by water retention. What are your thoughts?
