About This Service

The First Few Days

Some swelling and tenderness is normal and peaks around day two or three. In the first few days:

  • Rest and avoid strenuous activity
  • Use a cold compress on the outside of the face
  • Stick to soft, lukewarm foods
  • Avoid smoking, which slows healing considerably
  • Take pain relief as advised

About This Service

When to Call Us

Most healing is uneventful. Contact the office promptly if you notice:

  • Pain that increases rather than settles after day three
  • Swelling that spreads or worsens after day three
  • Bleeding that does not stop with gentle pressure
  • A fever, or a bad taste that will not clear
  • The implant or temporary feeling loose

If you have difficulty breathing or swallowing, or swelling spreading toward the eye or neck, treat it as a medical emergency and go to the nearest emergency room.
