Face fillers - can you sleep on your side?

January 24, 2018
Asked By:Seeshells in Boston, MA

I recently had cheek, jaw & marionette fillers. I was told to sleep on my back with my head elevated for a few weeks after face fillers. It gives me terrible headaches. When is it safe to sleep on my side ?
