Huge indentation after wearing jeans. Will these smooth out? (Photo)

Question

Wore jeans over my compression garment for about 3 hours today. 2 weeks post op. Did not realize they were this tight. Will these indentations smooth out?? I’m horrified that I just wrecked my results!!

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Yes this will smooth out avoid wearing jeans while healing from your liposuction, continue to follow up with your PS.

Robert Heck, MD, FACS · Answer

This should be fine, just be aware of what you're wearing moving forward in the upcoming weeks. You can take a flat hand and massage that area gently to smooth it out a few times a day. Best of luck  in  your healing process and if you have problems don't hesitate to seek another follow up.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

This should improve over time. I recommend following up with your Doctor about your concerns. You may have swelling, for 3-6 months after your procedure. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

I would not worry about this at all. Especially if you were only wearing something that compressed that area for a short time.Those indentations should definitely smooth out. Enjoy your results!

Thank you for your question. Look like you have liposuction. I recommend not to wear tight jeans while swelling and healing. Most likely resolve. Please talk to your PS

Don't know what you had done but if you are 2 weeks you have swelling so putting pressure over this area will and can produce indentations and these should go away.
