Answer: Postoperative protocol Dear levans1101,every plastic surgeon has his own postoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients but you should be able to sleep on your back. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: Sleeping after Liposuction & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen I tell my patients to lie the best they can where they feel comfortable. There is nothing much more than can be done with regards to positions. Find a good pillow to prop you in the positions that are best. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Re: sleep position after liposuction Thanks for your question! In general, I advise my patients that they can sleep in any comfortable position following liposuction. You may be a little sore the first night or two, but you really shouldn't have much difficulty. As your surgeon may have different advice, you should check with him or her as well.

Answer: How will I be able to sleep after flank liposuction? I had my abdomen done 6 weeks ago. Hello dear!! Thanks for the question and provided information as well. You can adopt the position that best suits you and in which you feel most comfortable. It helps to use several pillows to accommodate yourself If you have any concerns, please follow up close with your plastic surgeon. Good luck :)
