Visit Tampa Surgical Arts for a Bone Graft Procedure from a Triple-Board-Certified Oral Surgeon

Bone GraftDr. Manik S. Bedi is the oral surgeon to trust for a bone graft procedure in the Tampa Bay area. Dr. Bedi, who is triple board certified, leads our team here at Tampa Surgical Arts and you can trust him for the dental procedure you need. During a consultation at our office, Dr. Bedi will learn about your reasons for needing a bone graft and tell you all about the treatment options he offers. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Bedi will ensure you are comfortable and that all of your questions are answered. That’s just the way we do things here at Tampa Surgical Arts.

What Is a Bone Graft?

A bone graft involves applying supplemental material or donor tissue to a bone in the jaw that has receded or otherwise deteriorated. In some cases, the bone graft can involve the patient’s own bone that is harvested from another part of their body; in other cases, the bone may be harvested from another species altogether. Once the bone graft has been completed, the patient’s cells will get to work to repair and strengthen the tissues surrounding the area.

How Is a Bone Graft Performed?

Bone Grafts

Typically, a bone graft is a simple outpatient procedure that Dr. Bedi can take care of right in our office. These simple bone grafts fall in three major categories:

  • Sinus lift – If you need to repair the bone around your molars, then you’ll require a sinus lift. It adds a bone between your jaw and maxillary sinuses and is called a sinus lift because the sinus membrane must be “lifted” to make room for the new bone.
  • Socket graft – If you need to have a tooth extracted, it’s best to have a socket graft completed immediately afterward to preserve the underlying jawbone. Otherwise, if you have a tooth extracted without bone grafting, the underlying jawbone will begin to shrink rapidly. Dr. Bedi can extract the tooth and then place a socket graft to fill the void in your jawbone, ensuring the existing tissue regenerates and repairs itself naturally.
  • Ridge augmentation – Sometimes, the bone surrounding a missing tooth cannot naturally repair itself and, when this happens, a ridge augmentation is needed. Dr. Bedi will recreate the structure of the socket and gum line by placing a bone graft into the damaged section.

If you require major bone augmentation, whether due to a congenital defect or traumatic injury, it will require a hospital stay and general anesthesia. The deteriorated jawbone will be repaired using your own bone, usually from your skull, hip, or knee.

Some of the other benefits of bone grafts may also include restoring stability to the jaw, improving facial appearance, and helping to prevent future bone loss.

What Treatment Considerations Should I Keep in Mind?

Bone GraftPatients who undergo a bone grafting procedure should be aware that the recovery period can be longer than most other oral surgery procedures. For example, even the simplest bone graft can take at least three months to heal, with most recovery periods lasting anywhere from six to nine months. Recovery time typically depends on the complexity of the bone graft.

What Should I Expect Before and After the Bone Graft Procedure?

You’ll receive specific instructions from Dr. Bedi in your treatment packet about what to do before the bone graft procedure. In most cases, you’ll be asked to fast in the hours leading up to the oral surgery, as well as stop certain medications that may interfere with the anesthesia.

Full recovery after the bone graft can take up to a year. However, you should be able to return to work and normal activities a few days following the procedure. You’ll experience swelling and pain, which can be addressed with a pain reliever. Additionally, you’ll want to eat a soft food diet until the discomfort decreases.

OPTIMIZING FAT TRANSFER

Fat transfer to the hips can be optimized by utilizing a closed loop fat transfer system.

This means that fat remains in a sterile system until it is ready for transfer.

We use a proprietary system and have a unique formula to wash the fat.

This special solution gets rid of 99.999% of the bacteria that might be present and more importantly, for those who struggle with hip dips, promotes fat cell growth factors.

***BEDIFINED + Healthy Lifestyle = Best Results

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how they optimize fat transfer.

AB SCULPTING

Our most common client lives a healthy lifestyle and wants to fine tune/enhance their body.

Liposculpture is not meant for someone looking for a quick fix or extreme weight loss.

Properly done ab etching should highlight your underlying abs.

Most commonly, you will see the definition of the obliques, semilunaris, and linea albea (similar to this client).

Very few will look balanced with transverse abdominus definition (horizontal ab lines).

This beautiful mother is 2 years post-op.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what can be achieved with ab sculpting.

Procedure: 4D Liposculpture 360⚡️

Starting Foundation: 5`3", 151 lbs, BMI: 26.7

How do you tell if the curves were made in the gym, surgery, or a combination of both?

Natural and balanced is IN.

Overdone and multiple swiss cheese like entry points are definitely OUT.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what you can achieve with contouring plus a healthy lifestyle.

SUPER SKINNY BBL

These are by far the hardest cases:
-extremely thin tissue envelope is less forgiving
-almost impossible to find the fat
-managing expectations
-everyone else says no to doing them

This beautiful client came to see me for ab sculpting and fat transfer.

Does your surgeon take on challenging cases?

I would love to hear in the comments section what other surgeons you think would do this case!

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what to expect with a super low BMI fat transfer.

FAT TRANSFER

Fat is most commonly transferred to the buttocks, and we also do fat transfer to the breasts.

The uptake in the breast region is typically lower than the buttocks.

If you have skin laxity or want to go up multiple cups sizes; then an implant with or without a lift will be your best option.

This beautiful client came to see me for Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia correction plus enhancement of her breasts and buttocks.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you are a candidate for fat transfer.

PREGNANCY

A super common question we get it is: "What happens if I become pregnant after my procedure?"

Genetics and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are the main factors at play.

If you are blessed with good skin quality, then you might snap back to your pre pregnancy body.

If you maintain a healthy lifestyle (mindset + physical activity); your results will be next level.

This beautiful client had lipo plus a BBL elsewhere and came to see me for a revision.

She had 4D ab sculpting plus BBL and became pregnant shortly afterward.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what might happen after pregnancy.

LIMITING BRUISING / SWELLING

We have a proprietary formulation in our tumescent (numbing medication) and special medications used while you are asleep to limit your bruising.

This client was UNABLE to get the anti bruising cocktail due to her medical history (meaning she is super bruised/swollen).

She is about 3 weeks post-op in this video.

SITTING PROTOCOL

Body sculpting with fat transfer is an investment in yourself.

Some clients will elect to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for a long time to maintain their results.

Doing gluteal workouts after a BBL is definitely recommended after you get the green light from your surgery team.

This beautiful client is about 9 months post-op.

Can you guess how long this client has been using her BBL pillow?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATE how long to use your BBL pillow.
