Can You Sleep on Your Stomach After You Have Had a Face Filler in Your Cheeks or Will It Make It Go Away?

Question

Dear sissy88,

	We have never had any issues related to sleep positioning and filler complications.  I would suggest that a good night's sleep is worth the risks, whatever they may be.

William P. Coleman III, MD · Answer

For the first few hours after filler injection, it is better to avoid pressure on the areas treated.

	I recently participated in a panel of filler experts who discussed this issue. The most common cause of filler displacement is massage, but excessive movement from chewing, smiling, etc, may also affect the newly placed filler. Sleeping on the face is usually not a problem, unless you go to bed right after treatment.

Esta Kronberg, MD · Answer

Actually, this is a good question. The fillers become fixed in place shortly after the treatment. Please feel free to sleep in your normal positions.

Jonathan Weiler, MD · Answer

Yes, I have never seen any complications from this and I would encourage you to resume your normal activity.
