How to sleep after a Mommy Makeover: What are the best and most comfortable positions during recovery?

Thanks for your question.  Generally you will be sleeping on your back in an elevated position with your hips flexed.  This is necessary to take the tension off of your abdomen and to help keep your breasts elevated to minimize swelling.  Some patients prefer to sleep in a recliner for the first week or so; it is easier to get in and out of compared to the bed.  As you get farther out, you will be able to lay straighter/flatter as your abdomen relaxes.  Generally, I keep my patients in an underwire sports bra for about 2 months.  I also advise my patients to stay on their back during that time period to avoid pushing their implants out of position.  Good luck.  

The best recovery positions for sleep following a mommy makeover are going to be those that keep any strain off of your abdominal area and lower back. Resting in a recliner or any comfortable position that allows for a slight bend at the waistline while using pillows to support your back and legs will be fine.  Make sure to plan for having your caregiver help you up and down for the first few days. 

In my own practice I don't have any specific restrictions on position sleeping after a mommy makeover. Generally a position that is comfortable will not put any undue stress on tissues that have been operated upon. Nevertheless, if you have any doubts check with your own surgeon.
