I am scheduled for a face/necklift with eyes and fat transfer Dec 2. I have lines around my eyes that I can tell are caused from years of sleeping on my side. I am trying to teach myself to sleep on my back, but not having much success. Any tips on how to learn how to sleep on my back? Thank you!

Answer: Sleeping after a facelift you need to get proper rest after a facelift. you must sleep with your head elevated for any drainage to happen. try to rest as much as you can if you find maybe sleeping in a recliner may help as well to keep you upright.

Answer: How important is sleep position after a facelift I find that sleep position after a facelift is important. In general, one wishes that the head be elevated higher than the heart. This reduces swelling and promotes healing. Although it is difficult to sleep on one's back if one is not used to it, sleeping on the side could cause some problems especially in the early postsurgical days. Rubbing your cheek into a pillow could cause mechanical forces that could affect your incision, cause bleeding and by having one side down, that side will swell more than the other and could cause asymmetries.
