Complications are rare but common enough that you should expect to need some follow-up care after zygomatic implant surgery even when your surgeon has done everything possible to minimize risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-operative evaluation<\/strong> &#8211; You\u2019ll likely have a pre-operative evaluation where your doctor will discuss the procedure in detail and assess your general health.

In most cases, the incisions are well-healed enough to remove stitches by the time 10 days have passed. There\u2019s a chance that the wound may be slightly red or inflamed for a few days after these stitches come out. If there\u2019s significant swelling or pain, you should contact your surgeon. There may be some bruising after zygoma implants. Bruising is a normal reaction to injury that causes blood vessels to leak a dark red fluid. This may appear as small, blueish or reddish patches on your skin. It should fade over time. If you have persistent or excessive bruising, let your surgeon know.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royalimplant.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/image-12-900x900.png\" alt=\"trusted dental clinic\" class=\"wp-image-5100\" width=\"403\" height=\"403\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-successful-recovery-after-zygoma-implant-surgery\">Successful Recovery after Zygoma Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rest &#8211; You\u2019ll want to focus on resting as much as possible during the healing process.

However, there are several things you need to keep in mind when preparing for this procedure. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions for pre-operative care, but it\u2019s important to understand that post-operative care is just as important. Post operative care is when you\u2019ll actually begin to see the results of your surgery. You\u2019ll need to rest, keep the wound clean, and avoid strenuous activity for several weeks. It\u2019s important to follow your surgeon\u2019s instructions precisely to ensure a successful recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post-operative care is essential for a successful recovery from zygomatic implant surgery.
