Like will it give you cellulite around the area and cause fat gain as well?

    NO. My biggest problem is lying on my stomach usually cuts the circulation to my arms.

    No... Just like sleeping on your back doesn't give you back fat. The only thing that gives you fat gain is eating more calories than your body needs.

    The only negative thing I've ever heard about lying on your stomach is that it's really bad for your spine and pelvis.
