Hello, this is AB Plastic Surgery.

I will answer the questions many of you have been wondering about.

Q.

Hello. I had breast surgery yesterday.

I was told that it is better to sleep with my upper body slightly raised, and I’m wondering why.

Do I need to keep sleeping like this? Until when should I sleep with my upper body raised...?

AB.

Hello. You asked about sleeping positions after breast augmentation. This is something many patients are very curious about.

[On the day of surgery]

It is best to reduce upper-body movement as much as possible and maintain a stable position.

Because there may be pressure from the implant and bandages after surgery, sleeping with your upper body slightly raised rather than lying flat makes it easier to breathe.

Also, breast swelling generally moves downward into the abdomen as it subsides, so this can help swelling decrease more quickly after surgery.

[Up to about 3 days after surgery]

To prevent muscle bleeding, it is recommended to get help from a caregiver when lying down or getting up from bed.

[Up to about 1 week after surgery]

Sleeping with your upper body slightly elevated makes breathing easier and also helps reduce swelling.

[Up to about 3 months (the period when the capsule is mostly formed)] it is better to avoid sleeping on your side.

Until this stage, it is best to sleep on your back as much as possible.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will answer.

Thank you.
