Bone Grafts Packed Into Teeth Sockets, Bulges Disfiguring Upper Lip Produced. Treatment?

Thank you for the oportunity to ask this question. Two weeks ago I had bone grafts packed into my eye teeth sockets. The grafts have produced dime size bulges that disfigure my upper lip, I am assumning since it is already obvious at this stage that as my natural bone shrinks these bulges will become more and more apparent. In addition when I wear my upper denture the bulges are even more apparent. What can I do to reverse this problem as I am assuming the grafts were done incorrectly.

Dear friend.

Thanks for sharing your concern.

swelling could be due to infection.it could also be due to healing of wound but in this case it will be of non pitting type.

This can be evaluated upon your dentists examination.therefore its better to go for follow up once.

Meanwhile please minimize usage of dentures.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Take care.
