Pre Operative Instructions for Sinus Augmentation: A Day Before


The last 24 hours before your sinus lift procedure are considered the most crucial time. Following the proper Pre Operative Instructions for Sinus Augmentation can help ensure a smoother procedure and more comfortable recovery. In order to have a smooth procedure on the day of the appointment, it is necessary to follow these pre operative instructions for sinus augmentation.

If you are going to receive IV sedation during your procedure, it is important that you strictly follow the fasting requirements. This means:

Fasting Requirements
  • ● Avoid eating any solid food at least 8 hours before the appointment.

  • ● Do not have any clear liquids 2 hours before the appointment.

  • ● Only take medicines approved by your surgical team, and only with a very small amount of water.

Transportation & Recovery Support
  • ● After receiving IV sedation, you will not be able to drive yourself home.

  • ● Arrange transportation and aftercare with a responsible adult.

  • ● Your companion should stay at the office during the procedure and monitor your recovery for the first 24 hours.

Home Preparation
  • ● Fill all prescriptions in advance before your surgery day.

  • ● Prepare soft, nutritious foods for your recovery period.

  • ● Set up a comfortable resting area with pillows to help elevate your head.

  • ● Remove nail polish or acrylic nails before the procedure, as they may interfere with monitoring during sedation.

Important Reminder
  • ● If you develop symptoms such as fever, cough, cold, or sinus congestion within 24 hours of surgery, contact our office immediately, as your procedure may need to be rescheduled for proper healing conditions.

The Morning of Surgery


To ensure a smooth surgical experience, follow these final preparatory steps on the day of your sinus lift procedure.

  • ● To easily accommodate monitoring equipment and IV access, it is advised to wear clothing that is loose and has short sleeves.

  • ● Remove all jewelry or body piercings that can interfere with the surgical equipment.

  • ● To prevent any loss or damage to your valuable items, it is advised to leave them at home.

  • ● Do not wear makeup on the day of surgery, especially around your eyes, nose, or mouth.

  • ● Gently brush your teeth, and also avoid using mouthwash as they contain alcohol, which can cause dryness of the oral tissues.

  • ● Take only those medications that are approved or prescribed by your surgical team, but with a minimal amount of water.

  • ● To complete the final paperwork and to have some time for pre-surgical preparation, it is advised to arrive 15 minutes early for the appointment.

If you have been prescribed any inhalers for respiratory conditions, it is advised to bring them with you even if you don't need them. Since anxiety can sometimes trigger respiratory symptoms, their availability can allow addressing the issue promptly.
