Ive a bone recession Is a sinus lift successful and painful?

Q. I had a number of teeth removed wen I was 17,(unfortunately )mainly back lower right and left and 2 under left sinus.Obviously I have bone recession.Implants would be the way to go I presume for appearances.Is a sinus lift succesful,painful?.I have history nose fracture /septolplasty.How soon can one fly after it and swim.Is it expensive.I am 52 non smoker .

A. Sinus lifts are fairly routine and have a high success rate.  Pain after surgery depends on each individual case.  As with all surgery you should leave traveling a reasonable time after surgery – ayour surgeon will advise you depending on the type of surgery you have.

What are the risks associated with “sinus tenting”? When is “sinus tenting” preferable to “sinus lifting”? If either one goes wrong, am I risking life-long sinus trouble?
