Sleeping on Stomach After Breast Reconstruction?

August 5, 2012
Asked By:SavannahT in California

I keep waking up on my stomach, and I recently underwent breast reconstitution surgery. I try to sleep on my back but it is very uncomfortable to me and I guess I just turn over in the middle of the night, am I causing any ill effects by this? I am 10 days post op and still in moderate- severe pain.
