Answer: Breast augmentation Post OP Thank you for your question. As every surgeon has their own unique set of post op instructions, it is always best to first consult with your operating surgeon. That being said, Typically we advise our patients to sleep on their back on an incline for a minimum of two weeks post surgery. Best regards,Dr. Lane F. Smith, MDPlastic SurgeonLas Vegas, NV

Answer: Sleeping upright after breast augmentation Hi, Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns. Having said that, you should be fine to sleep on your back. Sleeping upright is for swelling and you are far enough out by now. Best wishes, Dr. Michael J. Brown (Northern Virginia Plastic Surgeon)
