Can you sleep on your stomach after your breast augmentation? This is a common question. Typically, I tell patients to avoid sleeping on their stomach right after breast surgery. Sleeping on your back with your head slightly raised will help reduce any swelling you may have. After one week, if you feel comfortable sleeping on your side, you may do so. After four weeks, you should be feeling 100%, and can sleep in any position, including on your stomach if you wish.
