When Can You Sleep on Your Tummy After Lipo?

Hello,

Unless there was also some sort of 'tuck' performed on the abdomen, or there was also some other procedure, lying front side down (on your tummy) should not pose any problem whatsoever after suction lipectomy of the abdomen.

Best of luck.

    I allow my patients to sleep on their stomachs after liposuction as soon as they want, but your plastic surgeon may have another idea about this.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA   

Answer:  as soon as you are comfortable.  Try sleeping on your side first, use pillows to pad things as you need to, then progress to your normal sleeping position.
