Lightbulb Lying prone on a bench
it means lying flat with the front of your body facing downwards.
How can we say facing upwards.?

The opposite of 'prone' is 'supine'.

That's true, but not many people use the word.

that's true, 'supine' is a little-known word outside of anatomical usage
such as 'pronation/supination'.

Prono / supino in Spanish, too. Very common word in gymnastics (I still remember my gymnastics teacher )

Doctors use those terms too.

En Chile con decir "boca arriba" or "boca abajo", es suficiente.
