Answer: Why do you have to sleep on an incline after breast surgery? Patients with augmentation mammoplasty's can lay flat on their backs, but a slight elevation does tend to make them more comfortable and also may reduce swelling a little faster. However, it is not mandatory with this procedure. Each surgeon has his or her own postoperative instructions according there experience.Thank you for your question.

Answer: Position for Sleeping after Breast Surgery Dear sfj, Thank you for your question. We recommend sleeping at an incline (as close to 90 degrees as possible for at least the first few days) to help decrease swelling. Swelling goes with gravity, so when you are sitting upright it helps it to dissipate faster. Hope this helps!

Answer: Sleep position after breast augmentation Most surgeries of upper body can benefit from being elevated to help with swelling. However, this really is not essential. Having adequate sleep is very important for healing as well. So, I would much rather you get a good nights rest than sleeping in a position that is uncomfortable for you.

Answer: Depends on your surgeon. Thanks for your question. In my own practice, all positions except face down on your tummy are acceptable after great augmentation. Every plastic surgeon has his or her own recommendations and experience which helps them formulate their post-operative instructions for their patients. Please consult with a board certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast enhancement surgery. Best of luck to you.
