What is the recovery like after a sinus lift?
Initial recovery takes about 1-2 weeks. Expect some swelling and minor bleeding or nasal congestion. Avoid blowing your nose, sneezing forcefully, or strenuous activity for 2 weeks. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication and return to normal activities within a few days. Full bone healing takes 4-6 months.
