Can i sleep on my stomach after having liposuction on my stomach?

Yes, you can sleep on your tummy after liposuction of it. Be sure to wear your garment during the 1st week or 2 continuously and enjoy the new you.

I do not restrict my patients from sleeping positions after liposuction, but I suggest discussing your post-procedure concerns with your physician, as his or her protocol may vary from mine. Massage, RF treatments, Venus Legacy and hyperbaric oxygen can drastically reduce post-liposuction swelling. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. I would recommend that you discuss this question with your surgeon. Every surgeon has their own specific post op protocol for their patients and your surgeon is the best resource when questions arise. They are most familiar with your medical history, details of your surgery, and how you are healing. In my office, after a liposuction procedure, my patients received any position that they find most comfortable. Patients wear a garment for three weeks, and then wear a lighter weight compression garment for an additional three weeks (Spanx). 

Congratulations on your recent surgery.

There really aren't any sleeping position restrictions after liposuction. I tell patients to let their comfort be their guide. Wearing the garment for support and regular movement will aid overall comfort the most. Be sure go discuss this with your physician, however.
