😴 How Should You Sleep After Rhinoplasty? Here’s What You Need to Know
Getting the right rest after rhinoplasty is just as important as the surgery itself. Sleeping in the wrong position can affect your results, increase swelling, or even displace the nasal splint. Let’s go over the essentials to keep your healing on track! 💡
🛏️ Recommended Sleeping Position
For the first 7–10 days, your surgeon will recommend:
🔺 Sleeping with your head elevated at a 30 to 45-degree angle
📍 On your back only, avoiding side or stomach sleeping
This position:
✔️ Helps reduce swelling
✔️ Lowers the risk of bleeding
✔️ Prevents pressure or accidental bumps to the nose
💡 Tip: Use 2-3 firm pillows or a wedge pillow to keep your head upright, or try sleeping in a recliner for maximum comfort.
🚫 Avoid These Sleeping Mistakes
- ❌ Lying flat without elevation
- ❌ Sleeping on your side (can distort results)
- ❌ Rolling over during the night — try using pillow barriers for support
Wearing a soft neck pillow (like a travel pillow) can help keep your head stable while sleeping.
