Q: Can I fly two days after bone augmentation and sinus lift treatment?
A: When we do sinus augmentation and bone grafting in our office we use the osteotome technique, which is much less invasive and puts very few restrictions on the patient’s post-operative activities. However, If you have had a “traditional” “window technique” for your sinus grafting, you might want to check with your Periodontist regarding flying. The altitude changes can affect your sinuses and the variations in pressure could affect the seal or closure of the extensive wound from the traditional procedure.
