Sleeping medication after surgery. Can you still sleep on your stomach after you have healed?

Once healing is complete, there is no problem sleeping on your stomach after breast augmentation.  Before you start, make sure it's okay with your surgeon.

Don't worry, as you'll be able to sleep on your front after your initial recovery without damaging your implants. Please speak to your surgeon about taking sleeping pills, as they will have to make sure they don't interfere with your recovery.

Generally, lying on your breasts after surgery isn't recommended. It will likely be uncomfortable to do so anyways. Sleeping medication could be prescribed to help you sleep. Best wishes for your surgery! 

Most patients who sleep on their stomachs before breast augmentation will eventually do so after, but it usually takes months before it is not too uncomfortable. Early on (first six weeks or so) it is unadvisable, because the force on the implants may extend the pocket that was carefully dissected.  Usually patients don't really have to be told that since it is too uncomfortable at first. Melatonin or a prescription sleeper can help if you have a problem. All the best. 

We tell our patients that whenever they feel comfortable to do so, they can sleep on their stomachs after a breast augmentation. This is something that you should ask your surgeon though because all of us have different post op protocol. You may also be able to take something like melatonin to help you sleep but again, ask your surgeon before doing any of the above, they are the only one who knows exactly what your case is and they are the best resource for post op instructions.

The short answer to your question is yes, after complete healing you should be able to sleep on your stomach after having breast implants.  It is a very important however that you address this question to your plastic surgeon for specific advice.  Your surgeon is the best person to answer this question and not online advice.
