Do you sleep on your stomach after back lipoma surgery?

After surgery for a back lipoma, you will usually need to sleep on your back to be able to avoid pressure on the wound that can lead to increased pain. Lipomas on the back are usually tumors made up of mature fat cells, and if treated surgically, the local skin will need to be cut open to remove the lipoma, and then the incision site will be sutured. Patients are advised to sleep on their backs as much as possible after the surgery, as the wound site will be painful as well as swollen. If the patient sleeps by lying down, it is easy to press the patient’s wound, leading to the strengthening of local pain. If you sleep on your side, it is also easy to cause wound pulling pain, not conducive to wound recovery, so patients need to sleep on their stomachs after surgery. Patients also need to pay attention to the postoperative period, do not carry out strenuous exercise in the short term, such as running, playing ball and so on, so as not to lead to pain aggravation.
