may take up to 3 months to heal. The surgeon may give other homecare
instructions. Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the
doctor.
What are the potential complications after the procedure?
There are possible complications with any surgery. These include:
bleeding
infection

There is a chance of rejection of the bone graft. Rejection is not usually a risk if a
person's own bone is used.
