Sinus Precautions

In some case, such as when there is a sinus exposure or a sinus lift procedure is performed, special precautions are recommended to promote healing and prevent complications.

Please follow the guidelines below for 10–14 days or as directed by your doctor.

While You’re Healing

• Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting (over 30 lbs).
• Avoid jarring activities such as running or high-impact exercise.
• Light activity such as walking is encouraged.

Activity

• Do not smoke during the healing period.
• Smoking can significantly delay healing and increase complications.

Smoking

• Avoid using straws with thicker liquids (such as milkshakes).
• Straws may be used for thin liquids if needed.
• Use a spoon for thicker drinks.
