Freaking out. Has anyone had a lateral window sinus lift? I'll have to wait some months before getting the 2 implants.

Just wanted to update! Had the sinus lift and have had zero pain and minimal swelling. I have some sinus pressure, but that’s it. I was freaking out and it went way better than I could have imagined.
Anxious 76,
I did get support from others who had it done before and posted here as well. I'm glad I helped you. How many implants do you need?
I'm 2.5 weeks post op and honestly,, the only thing that hurt on me was the back of my hand where I had the IV for sedation. I had minimal swelling for 3 days. If you have any questions, I'm happy to help.
I’m not sure what it would be like to have both done at the same time. I only had one side. Will you have a partial or
anything afterwards?
I talked to several people before I had mine done. There were 2 people who used pain medicine for a week. Others just used ibuprofen, and like I said, I had zero pain. For me, an extraction was worse than this. My bigger fear, aside from pain, was being able to eat decent food— not just mush.
Just an update- had my 3 week check up today. Everything is healing great! I go back in 2 months for an xray to see how the bone is coming along. I can chew on that side again now.
