Is sleeping on my stomach safe after liposuction?

You should be okay sleeping on your stomach at this point, as long as it's comfortable for you. However, you should ask your surgeon for their advice, since they're more familiar with your situation.

This is one of those questions that effects the life of everyone after surgery but which we rarely give distinct instructions about.  Each surgeon approaches this differently and I would advise checking with yours to get an answer from the person who knows your surgeon better than anyone.  Generally speaking, however, if it does not hurt at this point to sleep in any particular position, then sleeping is unlikely to cause a great deal of harm.Best,Dr. Pyle

Thank you for your question. If liposuction is the only operation, I let my patients sleep in any position that is comfortable; even on the evening of surgery. 

I do not think specific sleep positioning is essential after traditional liposuction.  At five weeks you should be fine to do what you want, but it is always a good idea to ask your surgeon.

If you do not have any other procedure done like breast surgery or tummy tuck everything should be ok, but otherwise you have to follow the advices of your surgeon

You should ask you surgeon for their recommendations but it should be fine.  Obviously if you had other procedures like breast augmentation then you should definitely check with your surgeon.
