Introduction
Under normal circumstances, if the chest has fully recovered more than a month after liposuction breast augmentation, it is acceptable to sleep on your stomach; however, if recovery is not yet complete, sleeping on your stomach should be avoided. If needed, it is recommended to consult a reputable hospital. Additionally, post-operative care should include adjusting sleeping positions, wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and modifying diet, all of which can promote physical recovery.

  Liposuction breast augmentation achieves breast enhancement by extracting fat from other areas of the body and injecting it into the breasts. The general reference price for liposuction breast augmentation is 5,000 to 20,000 yuan per session, and noticeable improvement is usually seen within 7 to 15 days. Generally, if the breasts have fully recovered over a month after the procedure, sleeping on your stomach may be acceptable; however, if recovery is not yet complete, sleeping on your stomach should be avoided. If necessary, it is recommended to consult a reputable hospital. Detailed explanation is as follows:

  Liposuction breast augmentation carries certain risks and should be considered carefully. If the breasts have not fully recovered after more than a month post-operation, it is recommended to avoid sleeping on your stomach, as this may affect the survival rate of fat cells and potentially lead to fat necrosis, thereby affecting the surgical outcome.

  Immediately after undergoing liposuction breast augmentation surgery, it is best to sleep on your back as much as possible and avoid sleeping on your side or stomach to reduce pressure on the breasts. If the breasts have fully recovered one month after the surgery, you can generally choose any sleeping position that feels comfortable, including sleeping on your stomach.

  Additionally, post-operative care should include adjusting sleeping positions, wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous exercise, and modifying diet to promote overall recovery.
