Which is better after breast augmentation, lying flat or sitting?

　　Breast augmentation mainly increases breast volume through methods such as injections or implant placement, making the chest fuller. The general reference price for breast augmentation ranges from 5,000 to 60,000 yuan per session, with noticeable improvement typically seen within 1 to 3 months. However, there are potential risks such as infection and implant displacement. After breast augmentation, lying flat or sitting upright is generally acceptable, but it is important to choose appropriately based on your individual physical condition.

　　In the early postoperative phase, a semi-reclining position is recommended, which is between lying flat and sitting upright. Swelling and pain in the chest area are common after surgery, and the semi-reclining position can utilize gravity to reduce blood accumulation in the chest, helping alleviate swelling and discomfort. It also helps prevent pressure on the chest while lying flat, reducing the risk of implant displacement. Once the incisions have initially healed, both lying flat and sitting upright are acceptable, but it is important to avoid maintaining the same posture for prolonged periods.

　　When lying flat, choose an appropriate pillow to keep the head and chest at the same level, preventing additional pressure on the chest. When sitting, maintain an upright posture with a straight back and avoid slouching to prevent compressing the chest area. From an overall recovery perspective, there is no definitive advantage of lying flat over sitting upright, or vice versa. The key is to ensure the chest remains comfortable and free from pressure.

　　During recovery, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and ensure adequate rest. Adjusting posture according to individual recovery progress can help promote healing and maintain the results after breast augmentation.
