Accidentally slept on my stomach a few hours, maybe I'm okay? 800cc, 7 weeks post-op. (Photos)

Question

My boobs are kinda sore but havent had to take anything tougher than naproxen. I fell asleep and woke up on my stomach its been 24hrs and no bruising but my veins are very visible now. Is this from pressure from last night or should i be worried. Vein have always been visible they just look brighter what do you think?

Luis M. Rios Jr., MD · Answer

Your breast pockets and implants should be well healed at 7 weeks, so no harm done. The fact that you slept on your tummy for several hours without discomfort is an indication that you did no damage.As far as the veins are concerned, it is common for the veins of the chest wall to be visible after a breast augmentation with a large implant.  I don't see anything abnormal there.

Congratulations on your recent breast augmentation. Sleeping on your tummy should not be harmful at this point. Talk to your surgeon if concerns develop! Good luck. Dr. Aldo

Most of my patients are quite comfortable sleeping on their stomach by the 3rd week after breast augmentation. This causes no problems. When concerned, always a good idea to keep your surgeon in the loop.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
