Recommendations for body positions post tummy-tuck surgery

Among the various trends in our ever-changing society, plastic surgery is certainly one of them. Abdominoplasty, better known as the tummy-tuck, has held one of the top 5 most popular surgeries title since 2010, as 116,352 patients underwent the knife, according to the Report of the 2010 Plastic Surgery Statistics by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Just as this invasive procedure is a cosmetic investment, proper care and recuperation must also accompany.

Starting with proper body elevation and positioning, from laying down to sleeping, there are certain precautions that need to be considered for optimal healing and comfort after tummy-tuck surgery. Supportive pillows come highly recommended for comfortable rest. The BackMax back and body wedge support system is ideal for this type of post-operative healing. The benefits of this product are countless, as it can be used in bed or on the floor and making it a perfect accessory for watching television, napping or reading. The Multi-functional full body support system helps creates positions recommended for elevating all parts of the body, including upper body, legs and feet.

However, Contour Living has highlighted the top eight most comfortable and supportive positions using the BackMax Back and Body wedge cushion.

Comfort can be found in:

Position 1:  An upright seated position

Position 2: Elevated knee and calf support

Position 3: Elevated head position

Position 4: Reclined with leg and calf support

Position 5: Arched position

Position 6: Elevated knee support position

Position 7: Reclined position with bent knees

Position 8: Supporting head, neck, knees and calves simultaneously

Offering your body this type of comfort and support will only enhance your results. We’ve taken the time to invest in the care of our bodies through extensive surgery, so it is just as important to invest in  top-of-the-line quality and care.

Leg Pillow's "Secret" to a Good Night's Rest

What may be the solution to the start of a long night ahead is properly aligning the neck, back and hips. With the right tool, this can be a quick and easy fix. Simply placing a quality crafted pillow in between the inner legs or thighs is the adequate support needed for proper alignment. Contour Products created a line of leg pillows as a solution.  Try the Contour Leg Memory Foam Pillow, the Original Contour Leg Pillow - a slightly more supportive version with standard foam, or the Contour Secret Leg Pillow which combines a foam core surrounded by a fiber fill layer.

Do you ever find yourself settling in for a nice, relaxing night of rest, laying comfortably in between soft, warm blankets, ready to release the stress of the day but just can't seem to find that perfect "spot?" The pillow isn't fluffy enough so your neck aches. The mattress feels firm laying on your side so your knees and back ache. Tossing and turning seems to be the theme.

Regardless of the leg pillow model, the patented contour design supports and aligns the lower body, relieving uncomfortable pressure from the hips and back, keeping the knees elevated from rubbing one another. These Contour Leg Pillows fit the contour of your legs perfectly, allowing for optimal support and comfort, maintaining the same shape all night.

5 Raving Reviews of the Contour CPAP Pillow from Amazon.com Users

One of the wonderful aspects of the Internet is just how accessible any product can be. Customers can shop on multiple websites to find the exact product they’re searching for, purchase, and even post comments and reviews helpful for other potential buyers looking to make the same investment. Here’s what customers had to say about their Contour CPAP Pillows purchased from Amazon.com:

1.       This Thing Actually Works

“As a user of a CPAP machine, I have spend my evenings trying to adjust and configure pillows so that I can wear the face mask with some semblance of comfort, with little success. I took a chance on this sleep pillow and I have to say it works great! Not only does it nicely accommodate the shape of the mask, the neck support is a real added value”. – Stephen

2.       Ahhhh, Sweet Slumber!

I have been a CPAP user for about 12 years now, and all that time I’ve been trying to find a pillow that didn’t dislodge my mask. At long last, the answer has arrived! This pillow is supportive and comfortable for the head and neck, and the cuts for the mask make it so the mask doesn’t get moved and start leaking! Amazing! No more stiff neck from craning upward to keep the mask off the pillow! No more air being blasted into my eyes or (worse yet) onto my husband! It is wonderful to sleep deeply and without interruption. I can’t say enough good things about it”. – Kathryn Hartsell

3.       Excellent CPAP Pillow

“I’ve been using this pillow for 3 weeks and it is fabulous! I highly recommend it for anyone sleeping with a CPAP mask”. – Deb T.

4.       Love This New Pillow!

“I recently purchased this pillow, as I needed a new pillow and decided to try one to use with my CPAP machine. It works great! Very comfortable and a great size to take with me when I am traveling. Recommend trying out this moderately priced pillow for CPAP users! – P.F. Innis

5.       Changed Everything

“I spend three weeks trying to sleep with a mask and never made it through one night without multiple interruptions, air leaks and mask readjustments. Then this pillow arrived two weeks ago. I’ve slept with the mask on all night ever since. So-total failure without it, and total success with it”. – Andrew Muir

Invest in Good Rest

When is the RIGHT time to invest in a new mattress?

It is simply in our human nature to “invest.” Certainly from a monetary perspective, “investing” in our everyday lives is inevitable; from choosing to pump the Supreme Unleaded gasoline versus Regular into our already high-priced and motorized “investment” ensuring it drives to optimal performance, to investing in copious amounts of department store cosmetics and skin care products to ensure that natural, radiant glowing face shines brightly each morning, down to the simple investment in our daily cup of exorbitantly trendy coffee we so rely on to start the morning off right. So why should investing in a quality night’s sleep be any different?

In terms of following in the (Americanized) investment footsteps: it shouldn’t. A good mattress is certainly a worthy venture to invest upon. The act of replacing a worn mattress with a new quality-crafted mattress can work mere wonders Not only is it the key to a quality night’s sleep, but crucial to a healthy neck, back and spine. The bottom line: a well-produced mattress can mean the difference of waking up feeling energized or leave you stiff as a board.

So when is the time for an upgrade? Experts suggest to upgrade about every ten years or so. However, superior comfort and overall support take precedence. The main objective in the investment of a new mattress is to be able to fully relax the body as you slumber the night away, with little to no tossing or turning, and with enough support underneath the body to avoid any pain or discomfort whatsoever.

It is also a good idea to check your old mattress for any obvious imperfections. Rips, tears, lumps or sagging in the pad or pillow itself could signal the need for a new investment. Aside from the more obvious indications of a need exist some less obvious; tuning into your body and assessing your needs of the present day as opposed to the needs that your body may have called for year prior will guide you through the mattress-shopping experience. Bodies change and so do our nightly necessities. Certain areas of the back or neck may require a bit more padding now than at one time. Certain sleep positions may cause the onset of snoring or sleep apnea if not supported correctly. Take a moment to reassess your personal needs at the present moment to truly reap the benefits of a quality mattress.
