Is it true you cannot sleep on your side after a facelift?

Hello is it true you cannot sleep on your side after a facelift? I don't think I could train myself to sleep on my back what will happen if I sleep on my side? Is there a certain amount of time I should sleep on back before resuming to side sleeping? I'm sure I would need to take sleeping pills to learn to stay on my back.
