How to sleep after breast augmentation surgery?

After breast implants, patients need to keep a back sleeping position and maintain a partly elevated position at least for the first few days. Thanks to that, breasts stay in a natural position, which greatly improves circulation and reduces swelling. Also, sleeping elevated unweight chest and arm muscles. Back sleeping without a possibility to move can be quite uncomfortable, so we recommend that patients use pillows for the support under the arms and knees, or try a recliner instead of bed. After a few days, patients may sleep in the flat position, but side sleeping is not possible for a few weeks.
