It is 2am and I am very restless. I usually sleep on your side but since I've had breast augmentation I have been sleeping on my back. I am 9 days post op. I slept upright on the couch for the first 5 days. The past 3 nights I slept in bed on my back with a few pillows. Would it be safe to sleep on my side?

Answer: How soon can I sleep on my side after breast augmentation? Hello Roxy.I would suggest you speak with your plastic surgeon about side sleeping. I do let many of my patients sleep on their side, in a bra after 7 days, but not all of them. If there specific issues on the type of breast implant used and the pocket dissection at the time of surgery, I will ask them no to do side sleeping until a more appropriate time. It's case by case with me so I suggest you clear it with your surgeon.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO
