I had a Tummy tuck with hernia and muscle repair with a Breast Augmentation (over the muscle) 3 weeks ago. I am wondering how long until I can sleep more flat as sleeping propped up is really hurting my back. I am swelling also and have been told to rest more. So my back is struggling due to being in the same position.

Answer: How long to lay flat after a mommy makeover Each plastic surgeon has their own guidelines for this, and these guidelines may change with each patient. Patients usually choose to sleep and a somewhat flexed position whether on their side or on their back, for the first week. After that, they seem much more inclined to sleep flat which has no bearing on their healing or final results.

Answer: Laying flat after mommy makeover Hello, the majority of my patients are laying flat by about a week after their makeover. However, you should check with your plastic surgeon because everyone heals at a slightly different rate, and it is possible they have different advice.
