What's the best sleeping position after liposuction?

I encourage you to have several pillows available and use them to help yourself obtain a comfortable position. Many patients like a pillow or two under their knees. Or if you're a side sleeper, have one folded against your back for support. Speak with your surgeon who should have more suggestions.

I suggest finding your best position and staying in it.  It will not harm any fat transfer.  Ensure your compression is right.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question and I am sorry to hear of your liposuction discomfort.  This is a question best asked of your surgeon based on the exact procedure you had performed.  If you only had liposuction then there is typically not any restriction on sleeping position, but if you had the fat used as graft material, pressure over the area to which the fat was transferred should be avoided.

Thank you for your question.  After liposuction procedure you can sleep in any position that is most comfortable for you.

We typicall tell our patients to sleep however is comfortable for them after liposuction.  If you are a back sleeper maybe try to put a pillow under your knees, that will take some of the pressure off your buttocks while you sleep.
