Following a breast augmentation, it’s recommended to sleep on your back for 3 weeks in a slightly elevated position to prevent any pressure on the incisions and muscles surrounding the breast. After 3 weeks, if sleeping on your back is uncomfortable, you may choose to sleep on your side if you take certain precautions.
If you choose to sleep on your side, you’ll need to wear your underwire bra and place a soft pillow beneath the breasts to prevent any added pressure or shift of the implant as it heals.
