I would be careful about sleeping medications while recovering from surgery. You want to be alert so you do not fall and cause an unnecessary complication. I recommend tylenol pm for postop pain and sleeping aid. All the best.
I appreciate your question.This is normal but if you are concerned please contact your PSThe best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
If you lie down on your back and lift your head off of the ground, you will be able to feel a space between your six-pack muscles... but it is really rare for things to "break down" at this point.
