Thank you for your question! Any clothing that is comfortable to you is ok to wear over your compression garment. If you’re able to fit your jeans over the garment, it is ok to, as long as they are not overly tight and causing indentations through your garment, onto your surgical sites. I hope this helps!
Your plastic surgeon knows your postoperative course best and would be better able to advise you on this. However, if you have a stable result that has not changed in weeks, then wearing tight jeans is probably not going to disrupt anything or create a dent, other than a temporary one.

I recommend following up with your Doctor about their protocol regarding compression. I have my patients wear customized compression after their 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
We recommend compression garment for 3-4 weeks after surgery. Few days after surgery, when major swelling is gone, patient can ware any type of casual clothes she/he desires at least for few hours. Be aware of the folds and creases it may leave on your swollen body and massage them to prevent more permanent marks. Good luck.
Thank you for your question. Every surgeon has a different protocol for after liposuction and they vary widely. I suggest you ask your surgeon about his or her preferences.Best of luck!Dallas R. Buchanan, MD, FACSOwner & Board-Certified Plastic SurgeonVIVIFY plastic surgery
