    I’m 4 days post op and have been sleeping upright in my living room. Am absolutely dying to get back into my bed but I can’t sleep upright in there, how long before you can lay down or even sleep on your side?

    I’ve been sleeping at about 45 degree angle….had my 1 week check yesterday and asked about it coz was worried I was too flat etc and she said the position I was on the bed in the post op room was ok….and that was flatter than I had been sleeping! It’s mainly yo help with the swelling…..so unless u have been instructed otherwise, you can maybe flatten yourself a bit….defo easier to sleep then! I’m sure she said 7-10 days to lie on your back….not sure about sleeping on your side, will check next week! Any worries I’d ring the mya nurse tho xx

    Hey I was one week till I was on my side was told that I could sleep on sides as long as had good surport from sports bras to stop my implants from pulling I use long sussage pollow to take the pressure off by cuddling init with my legs n arms to take my body weight by leaning on it but she said every girl differs as if your body isn’t ready to go on the sides you u will know about it about but x

    I asked about sleeping on side yesterday and the nurse said not until after 6 weeks. It can stretch yr scares and stretch yr skin x

    I’ve been sleeping on my side by putting a pillow under my boob as I lay on it like @alex Clarke. I had strapping off yesterday so I’ve been extra careful as I haven’t got as much support. I can’t stand sleeping on my back

    Not sure about sleeping on the side but I have been told that sleeping upright is only to reduce the swelling. She said its not necessary but helps if you do. x
