After a mommy makeover when you can sleep on your back?

The best position to sleep in after a mommy makeover is on your back with 2-3 pillows behind your back and 1 under your knees.  This takes tension off the abdominoplasty closure.  It also prevents pressure on the breasts after a lift or augmentation which I think is important.  Speak to your doctor to see if or why they advise otherwise.Dr Rodger ShorttOakville Plastic SurgeonAssistant Clinical Professor &Director of Cosmetic Surgery Training,McMaster University

I appreciate your question.

I advise my Mommy Makeover patients  to sleep on their back with their chest elevated ( 2-3 pillows) for 1-2 weeks depending on how they are healing.  Since each surgeon has their own post op protocol, best to discuss with yours what he/she recommends for you since your surgeon is most familiar with your medical history and how you are healing.



The best way to assess and give
true advice would be an in-person exam.

Please see a board-certified
plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.



best of luck!
