I am 11 days post op, feeling good but still quite sore. When can I start sleeping on my side again? I have a hard time sleeping on my back but I dont want things to "pull apart"
Answer: Sleeping position after Breast Reduction Hi, understand the frustration as it is uncomfortable to sleep on your back if you are not used to. I recommend my patients to sleep on their back for about 3-4 weeks, then gradually on the sides and after 6 weeks even on their stomach.

Answer: Sleeping on side after reduction Please follow your surgeon's guidelines on this. I generally allow this at three weeks, though it may depend on how well you are healing or how large your reduction was. Congratulations on having your breast reduction!
