Can Sleeping on Your Stomach Help Implants Settle and Soften Faster?

Thanks for your question -
It is unclear how much massage, garments and other methods of putting pressure on implants (like sleeping on them) helps the implant pocket soften or mature.
There likely isn't any harm in it. You should ask your surgeon because the surgical technique used as well as how long it has been since your surgery may influence the correct answer to this question. For example, if your surgery was relatively recent sometimes massage or pressure can create an increase in bleeding.
Talk to your doctor.
I hope this helps.

There is no scientific research indicating this to be true, however you might find the pressure uncomfortable. During your recovery, you'll need your rest and you don't want to not sleep. I advise my patients to sleep on their side or back right after their surgery to avoid putting additional strain on the treated area.

Yes, laying on your stomach helps keep the pocket open. This is due to the pressure exerted on the implant from the weight of your body. It is best to exert this pressure in several positions. That is why we have you do breast massage after your implants. I do not think that sleeping on your stomach is necessary, but 5 to 10 min per day would be very helpful. Good luck.
