Sleeping after breast augmentation - If I can't sleep on my back am I at risk of serious complications?
samiramoeMay 21, 2025
I would like to have breast augmentation, but I am very stressed out because most doctors say I have to sleep on my back. It is unrealistic for me, I have tried it many times and I simply cannot sleep on my back. Does this mean that I am not a good candidate for this procedure? Is it really not allowed to sleep on my side? What are the risks if I sleep on my side? Am I at risk of serious complications?
