Sleeping after a facelift causes more anxiety than it probably should.
Yes, I recommend sleeping with your head elevated to help reduce swelling and speed recovery. A pillow ramp or wedge works great for this.
But if you slide down your pillows, roll onto your side, or wake up in a different position than you intended, you have not ruined your result.
You may notice a little extra swelling on the side you slept on, but that's temporary and improves once you're upright again.
The deep work performed during surgery determines your final result, not whether you slept perfectly every night.
