Answer: Positioning for sleep after liposuction. 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.

Answer: Sleeping 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.

Answer: Follow your surgeon’s instructions and listen to your body. Thank you for your question. The person best qualified to answer this question is your plastic surgeon because he or she knows what was done during your procedure and how you should sleep for proper healing. With that said, I would generally say you can sleep on your stomach after liposuction, provided you are wearing compression garments while you rest and this position is comfortable for you. As a general rule after any cosmetic procedure, you should listen to your body. If it’s uncomfortable or painful, don’t do it.

Answer: Sleeping after liposuction 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.
