A member asked:

Male age-21 will sleeping on my stomach(stomach downward side) lead to implication of fat on my chest and abdominal area?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Natalie Geary answered

Sleep position: NO! fat on your body is from eating, lack of exercise or a more complex problem. Sleep position should not change that
