Does stomach sleeping help reduce capsular contracture?

breastfrans
Of course I'm going to listen to my surgeon who said he rarely ever has ladies who sleep on their stomach develop capsular contracture - he's board certified, very qualified, and been practicing 30 years. That said, I'm interested to know if other doctors agree or disagree about stomach sleeping helping to reduce the occurrence of capsular contracture and if it causes implant displacement. I am 3 weeks post op, but am choosing to wait to stomach sleep for a few more weeks.
