PLEASE HELP! sleeping flat… does it change shape of your boobs?…

This might be a silly question but….

I’ve been sleeping flat and on my side for about a week. I’m now 3 weeks post-op today so from about 2 weeks. I just kinda fell flat one night and felt fine so carried on sleeping like that and on my side a bit ( I mainly sleep on my back not on my side anyway even before BA). I don’t think theyres much swelling left on my boobs now they feel fine and are soft and squidgy. Is sleeping flat and on my side affecting the shape of my boobs and how they settle into there pockets? Xx

?xx

I went for my one week check up the other day & the nurse said it was fine to start sleeping on my back from then so I presume not xx

I thought the only reason you’re told to sleep upright is to help with the swelling? Could be wrong though! x

Sleeping flat doesn’t affect them but when I googled it it said that sleeping on your side can make your boobs sag so I’m too scared to sleep any other way than on my back even with my Macom on I’m still scared they will sag x

Thanks girls. I will stay on ma back then emmajane! Lol. Luckily I mainly tend to sleep on my back anyway xx

I always used to sleep on my front or side so it’s killing me not being able to, I just want a good nights sleep, lol x

Slept flat from 12 days post op.

Then on my side bout 3 weeks and always now sleep on my front.. this was from 5 weeks post.

20 weeks post op and sleep in a sports bra 95% of the time at nite x

I slept flat first two nights as I wasn’t aware of the upright sleep rule! I also collapsed in the hospital bathroom on the floor folded over throwing up and my boobs are fine and disaffected xx

Well the only way I can get a comfy nights sleep is on my side. I’ve been sleeping on my side from about day 15! And now Im sleeping bra-less but Im worried now about the sagging issues raised here? x

Nah don’t worry I don’t think I slept upright once I woke up on my back now I’m 6 week I sometimes wake up on my front

I never used to do that hahaha but it doesn’t hurt so oh well xx
