Ideas for specific neck pillow post breast augmentation surgery?

Side Sleeping After Breast Implants
There’s a myth that after breast augmentation surgery, you’ll need to sleep on your back for a week or longer. Many of my patients believe it, and they are worried that they won’t be able to get to sleep, because they normally sleep on their side or their stomach.
They are not alone. According to the Better Sleep Council, fewer than 15 percent of people prefer to sleep on their back.
Let’s bust this myth: You don’t have to sleep on your back after breast augmentation surgery. You don’t have to stay up all night to make sure you don’t doze off and turn over onto your stomach. You can sleep any way you want from the night of surgery on, including on your stomach if you’re comfortable enough. That is what I advise my patients. Always best to consult with your surgeon's protocol.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and AuthorRealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee

Hello, thank you for your questions. Feeling rested and healthy before plastic surgery can be help with the recovery period. Your surgeon will provide you with a list of pre-op and post-op protocols to follow.  Consult with him/her to obtain these lists and recommendations to aid in recovery.

It’s not usually a major deal if you roll over to your side at night after a breast aug. I tell my patients to prop up on their back mostly for comfort. If you put a few pillows on your sides under your arms, you’ll be less likely to roll over, but I wouldn’t worry too much about it. 

Thank you for sharing your question.  Although I do not feel a neck pillow is needed, try one of the air travel like ones or the trtl pillow.  Hope this helps.

Dear Thankful01,
every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

I appreciate your concern, however the only recommendation regarding sleeping after breast augmentation I provide is avoid sleeping on your stomach. I place a surgical bra right after the operation and allow my patients to sleep on their sides if they so desire, and I have never had a problem. Discuss your concerns with your board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck.

While you'll probably be more comfortable on your back in the early stages of recovery, it is ok for you to be on your side at times.  Keep a variety of pillows near you for support as you change positions throughout the night.  There are formed memory foam pillows that may be helpful for specific neck support.
