If you have undergone a plastic surgery such as an abdominoplasty, it is very important to have a rest so that your body recovers in the best conditions, you must sleep well in positions that do not injure the stitches where you have been operated on avoiding opening the wounds both internal and external.<\/p>\n

There are many patients who wonder about how to sleep during the postoperative process in its different stages.<\/p>\n

So, here are the best positions to sleep well after a tummy tuck, allowing you to rest longer.<\/p>\n

Best sleeping positions after abdominoplasty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You should bear in mind that a good rest after a tummy tuck<\/a> will speed up your recovery during the postoperative process, that’s why we’re giving 3 very useful positions in different situations and stages of rest which will help you sleep peacefully.<\/p>\n

These are the following positions:<\/p>\n

Semi-recumbent position (face up)<\/h3>\n

This is the position we recommend you in the initial postoperative phase as it is the safest one. You should try to sleep in a reclining bed where your body rests in a slightly inclined position, allowing you to rest.<\/p>\n

We know this is not the most comfortable position, but it will keep you protected for the first 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

This position is beneficial because when you will stand up, you will not have to use your hands, so you will not strain the recovery area.<\/p>\n

Supine position<\/h3>\n

We advise you to adopt this supine position after spending the first 2 weeks in the first semi-reclining position, moving on to the next postoperative stage where your wounds will be a little stronger so that you do not run the risk of rolling over in your sleep and injuring the suture.<\/p>\n

This position is much more comfortable than the semi-reclining position and is also very safe, as your wound is not in contact with the mattress and it will not have to support your body weight. For this reason, we recommend that you place a few pillows on your sides before going to bed so as to prevent your body from turning while you sleep.<\/p>\n

Lateral position<\/h3>\n

We also recommend to opt for this position in the third postoperative phase\u00a0: from the second or third week after the operation to one and a half or two months of rest, as it assumes that the wound is better healed and that you are in the final stages of the healing process.<\/p>\n

We advise you to place some pillows to support your legs and to try to maintain the position in order to avoid a bad movement that could cause an opening in the suture.<\/p>\n

All of these recommendations will allow you to achieve greater safety and to ensure that your recovery takes place in the best conditions.<\/p>\n
