Can I only sleep on my stomach after liposuction to fill my buttocks

After liposuction and filling of the buttocks, sleeping on your stomach is not the only option, but it is recommended to adopt a prone position in the early postoperative period to reduce pressure on the buttocks and promote recovery. The postoperative sleeping position should be adjusted according to the doctor's advice and personal comfort level to avoid prolonged compression of the filling area.

1. In the early postoperative period, after liposuction and buttock filling, doctors usually recommend adopting a prone position, that is, sleeping on the stomach. This posture helps reduce pressure on the buttocks and avoid displacement or deformation of the filling material. Prone position can also promote blood circulation and accelerate wound healing. Within 24-48 hours after surgery, try to maintain a prone position and avoid lying on your side or back.

2. Sleep posture adjustment and recovery

With postoperative recovery, sleep posture can be gradually adjusted. Usually around one week after surgery, one can try lying on their side or supine depending on personal comfort. When lying on your side, it is recommended to use pillows to support your legs and reduce pressure on your hips. When lying on your back, you can place a pillow under your knees to keep your hips relaxed. Two weeks after surgery, the sleeping position can be more flexible, but it is still necessary to avoid prolonged compression of the filling area.

3. Precautions and Nursing

During postoperative sleeping posture adjustment, the following points should be noted: keep the bed clean and avoid infection; Use soft mattresses and pillows to reduce pressure on the buttocks; Avoid vigorous exercise or prolonged standing to avoid affecting recovery; Regular follow-up visits, adherence to postoperative care, and dietary adjustments include consuming foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote wound healing. After liposuction and buttock filling, the choice of sleeping position should be adjusted based on postoperative recovery and doctor's advice. Initially, it is recommended to adopt a prone position to reduce pressure on the buttocks and promote recovery. As the recovery progresses, one can gradually try lying on their side or supine, but it is still necessary to avoid prolonged compression of the filling area. Postoperative care and regular follow-up visits are equally important to ensure surgical outcomes and physical health. By scientifically and reasonably adjusting sleeping posture and postoperative care, the effect of liposuction and buttock filling can be effectively improved, accelerating the recovery process.
