I'm 12 days post breast augmentation. Should I still be sleeping on my back?

Thanks for the question. I recommend to sleep on your back of at least 2 more weeks. In my practice, after performing a BA I recommend to my patients to limit the movement of the arms for two weeks. After that, you can move your arms taking care and always with common sense. In this regard, it's not advisable to carry heavy weights to prevent the implant out of position, and allow the formation of the physiological capsule around the implant, also to avoid pain and breast swelling.Respectfully, Dr. Emmanuel Mallol.-

Thank you for your question.  I allow patients to sleep in any position, except on their stomach, as long as they are wearing a supportive garment, but each surgeon will have their own specific recommendations.  Talk to yours about timing and position requirements after surgery.

Since every surgeon has his or her own unique post op protocol, you need to discuss this with your surgeon. I typically have my patients sleep in their backs with the knees supported for the first two weeks. My best,
Dr. Sheila Nazarian
