Asked By:steviec.

Caring for breast implants - sleeping. Hello, I am one year post breast augmentation and mastopexy. I am very happy with my results, my breasts look very natural. My question is in regard to sleeping. I am a side sleeper and have no trouble sleeping, however a friend of mine had the same procedure and still sleeps in her post surgery bra a year later and only on her back and says side sleeping ruins the implants..? Is this true? Thank you
