How to Sleep Better after Breast Surgery and Nose Job?

The importance of getting a good night's sleep after cosmetic (breast and nose ) surgery

One of the most supportive conditions for recovery after surgery is quality sleep. A good rest and sleep after breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lifting surgeries and nose job helps strengthen the body and return to daily life more easily.

It is not right to sleep with low pillows after the surgery as in normal days. You should sleep upright with plenty of pillows so as not to damage the operation area.

How should I sleep after cosmetic surgery?

After breast augmentation, reduction, lifting, correcting asymmetry, rhinoplasty, it is appropriate to sleep with a few pillows and at a 45-degree angle for 2 weeks. Sleeping at a 45-degree angle reduces post-operative swelling. It prevents sleeping by lying on the surgical area. While this supports healing, it provides good results from the surgery.

What can I do for a perfect night's sleep after surgery?

Trying to sleep differently from the way you are used to after the surgery may also force you to sleep. It will be useful to do a few tries to get the most comfortable sleeping position. For this, you can use V pillows used in pregnancy or other pillows in your home.

At this point, one thing you need to pay attention to is to put pillows on both sides of you to avoid turning left and right at night. We recommend that you sleep in the most comfortable upright position by using plenty of pillows.
