Answer: Sleeping after breast enhancement Sleeping at some increased angle on your back is the best "position" for you to sleep in after breast surgery. Usually that is just an extra pillow under your back. I also recommend to most patients to place a pillow under their knees to take any discomfort off of their back and they do great. In addition, I routinely prescribe a muscle relaxant for the first few days after the surgery to help with discomfort and prevent any muscle spasm and that also functions nicely as a "sleep aid" for the first few nights. I hope this helps!

Answer: You can't really control how you sleep as everyone tosses and turns during the night. If you didn't move, you would develop pressures sores. As long as your position is tolerated, it should be fine.
