you can sleep on your back or sides. Please speak to your physician as to the best options. Dr. Emer.
In my own practice I permit patients to sleep in whatever position makes the most comfortable. Your own surgeon may have some restriction so it's best to get your instructions from the office.
You should be using a compression garment even for sleep. Try to find the most comfortable position. It should be fine to sleep on your tummy if this is comfortable.
Thank you for your question. Theperson best qualified to answer this question is your plastic surgeon becausehe or she knows what was done during your procedure and how you should sleepfor proper healing. With that said, I would generally say you can sleep on yourstomach after liposuction, provided you are wearing compression garments whileyou rest and this position is comfortable for you. As a general rule after anycosmetic procedure, you should listen to your body. If it’s uncomfortable orpainful, don’t do it.
Congratulations on your procedure! A good night's sleep is important for your recovery. Sleeping position depends usually on where on your body you had liposuction. I would recommending checking with your surgeon to see if they have any restrictions for you. Compression garments are a great way to help reduce edema and help with the healing and recovery process. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, MMT
