    Hi girls
    I had my op yesterday and I’m doing ok! However whenever it comes to sleeping I find it much easier to sleep with my V pillow slightly upright is this ok? My surgeon never said whether I should be completely flat but I find whenever I lower my back down flat it feels like my breast are ripping and it really hurts?!? Has anyone had anything similar or know how I can and cannot sleep?! Xx

    You have to sleep upright hun… To help reduce swelling and symmetry for the boobs. My aftercare sheet recommends 45 degree angle in bed. Then after 1 week my nurse wants me to still sleep upright for a couple of weeks but I can lie further down than before. I don’t know about all surgeons but I’m 99% sure you shouldnt be sleeping flat at all! Did they not give you information after your op?? xo
