How long after a BA can you sleep on your stomach, if ever?

It won't surprise you to hear that this is a very common question.  Every surgeon will have their own way of managing this and I suggest that, whoever you have your surgery with, you follow their advice. Having said that, I tend to tell my patients to avoid sleeping on their front for the first 4 to 6 weeks. In practice, this is not something that needs to be overstated as people naturally sleep in their most comfortable position. At some point between 6 and 12 weeks, people tend to find themselves quite naturally reverting to stomach sleeping. Mother Nature will let you know when you are ready!

Thank you very much for your question. There
is no restriction I place on my patients as to how they sleep after surgery. However,
you may find it a bit uncomfortable for the first six weeks. After about six
weeks, although sometimes a little longer, you will find it comfortable to once
again sleep on your stomach. Once your implants have fully healed, there is no
risk to sleeping in this position, so you will be able to return to the most comfortable
position at night. If you have any further questions or concerns, I suggest
bringing the subject up with your operating surgeon, who can explain what to
expect from your breast augmentation recovery.

I advise my patients they may sleep in any desired position after breast augmentation surgery. Most of my patients say they are very comfortable sleeping on their stomach by the 21st day.Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
