How long before you can sleep comfortably?

by B'sboobs 28th February 2014, 8:25 pm

I've been wondering this too, I keep dreaming about sleeping after my op. Sahara, are you still in comfy then? X

Hi, babe! It's different for every girl because it depends how fast you heal both externally and internally. Generally I'd say when you hit the 4 week mark you can start sleeping normally again. This was the case for me.. Until 4 weeks I was still sleeping with 4/5 pillows and then after that I gradually lowered myself and then at 5 weeks I slept on my side. Some girls start sleeping on their side much sooner than that though!
I still sleep with 3 pillows now just because I'm used to being higher. Don't worry, babe, your comfortable sleeping will happen eventually!!

I hope you're well xxx

A few weeks, but it depends on how you sleep x

I sleep on my side and have basically gone down to 2 pillows and my v pillow and still on my back... desperate to sleep on my side and often wake up half turned over half on my back hehe... xx

I'm still sleeping on my back! It gets easier after a couple of weeks xx

You're body will naturally decide for you. You're PS/Nurse will advise how long to sleep 'upright' for, then after that, you're body is going to do what it feels comfortable doing. I had to back sleep elevated for 2 weeks, then I was allowed to side sleep, but it was another 2-3 weeks before my body allowed me to. Yeh it means a lot of restless nights...but at least you'll have fabulous boobs at the end of it!

I was able yo sleep on my side comfortably around 8 weeks

by Sahara1981 1st March 2014, 8:33 am

My surgeon said 2 weeks on back elevated.

I'm having a hard time accepting the size of my implants and this sleeping is starting to hurt my back.
I love my sleep.

I was told 2 weeks elevated but like Kati- I often find myself half way turned to the side too.
Using 6 pillows still- biggest under the knees, one under low back, 2 piled up under head/shoulders and topped with V pillow and cushion under each arm. Quite comfy actually and the best thing is you never wake up with wrinkles on your face woohoo

Since I hit 29- my nose mouth lines had become engraved (had them filled now- fab results!) and every day I had been waking up with more fine lines.... but I look much more wrinkle free since I've been sleeping on my back x

Woke up today on my side - oops.. well I'm now officially 2 weeks post op - but yeah... I feel comfortable doing it, but all paranoid about this kush business and making them have wrinkles not having one :/ had no idea till the other day about them... least I got to sleep quicker than normal :) xx

Congratulations on your 2 weeks Kati :)
It has flown by hasn't it. Only 4 more weeks and you can pay a trip to Bravissimo. Hurrah xx

by kati1236 1st March 2014, 9:56 am

Ahh don't your making me all excited and impatient hahah! I just cant wait for the 6 week mark :) eeek! 2 weeks tomorrow for you :) xx

Every day it gets easier, but for me 6 weeks was when i felt properly comfortable sleeping on my side. I know it's hard to believe, but you will feel back to normal. I always slept on my tummy pre-op, and i'm happily tummy sleeping again...even with my 460's!

So lovely to see you new Pre-oppers with your avi's, looking great girls! xx

by Sahara1981 1st March 2014, 11:33 am

You can sleep on your front!!!! I was a front sleeper before assumed you couldn't once u had boobs?

by MissCET 1st March 2014, 1:01 pm

No it's fine. I tuck my hands under the pillow slightly, doesn't put much pressure on my chest. I'm sleeping exactly the same as i did pre-op now xx
