I am one week post op and I have been sleeping/sitting reclined for seven days... When can I sleep flat on my back? Will this effect my ps results?
Answer: Sleeping Elevated Thank you for your question. It is very important to follow the instructions and guidelines provided by your board-certified surgeon. I recommend patients sleep upright for 2 weeks after breast augmentation, but your surgeon's recommendations may be slightly different. Best of luck with your recovery!

Answer: How long after Breast Augmentation should I sleep elevated? Every surgeon is going to have some type of "protocol". I think it is most important during the first week to sleep semi-upright and help assist with decreasing edema overall, but beyond that it is very individualized instructions for each patient. Work is her plastic surgeon to increase her opportunities for your best overall results possible.

Answer: Elevation after BAM Best to ask your plastic surgeon about his/her recommendations as they are most familiar with your procedure. I generally recommend elevation for a few days after surgery. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Answer: Usually 1-2 weeks then on your back Thank you for asking. You should check with your surgeon, as we all have slightly different routines. I have patients sleep semi-upright for 1 week then on their back for 6 weeks with a support bra, and nosleeping on your side for 6 weeks.

Answer: Sleeping elevated after breast augmentation It is usually beneficial to sleep with your chest elevated for a week after surgery. The gravitational effect of this position helps reduce swelling. It is recommended after that that you sleep on your back for at least another 3 weeks to prevent unusual pressure on your breasts during the early healing phase. Each surgeon has their own routine postoperative recommendations. It is very important that you consult with your surgeon and follow those directions. Good luck.
