I believe it’s okay to sleep on your side as long as you keep your head elevated. I recommend my parents sleep in a recliner for at least a week post op to keep their head at least above the level of their heart.
Your surgeon may ask you to sleep on your back with your head elevated for 1-2 weeks following surgery.
