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.

VOLUME

A common question we get it is, "How much fat was transferred?"

The amount of fat to achieve a certain look is highly variable and depends on multiple factors.

Some have a better starting buttocks foundation and will require less fat.

Others have a significant amount of volume loss and will require more fat.

This beautiful client wanted a rounder and perkier buttocks.

We delayed her procedure a few times because of challenges in gaining weight.

***How much volume do you think was transferred for this case?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the amount of fat volume your case might require.

WEIGHT GAIN

Some clients who request a `skinny BBL` will have to gain weight.

We have had some individuals with a BMI of 19 or less who might have to gain 8 lbs, and other clients with a BMI of 22 might have to gain 10+ lbs.

Not all body types are the same.

After reviewing your goals, body composition, and overall health, an appropriate recommendation will be made.

This beautiful client wanted to fill her hip dips and gained 10+ lbs prior to her procedure.

***Who else is excited to see how this one turns out?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES if you need to gain weight prior to your BBL.

ASYMMETRY CASES

When there is a curve of the back (scoliosis), typically, the hips follow, making the buttocks also asymmetrical.

Fat transfer (BBL) in these cases is extremely challenging because of the underlying discrepancies in anatomy, which makes the amount of fat uptake very unpredictable.

Usually, one side of the buttocks has tighter tissue in the laterals but more relaxed tissue in other parts of the buttocks.

A well thought out plan with the surgeon will be the difference maker.

This beautiful client came to see me for a balanced and athletic appearance buttocks.

She is now 1 year out.

***Do you think we improved her asymmetric hip dips?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the challenges of asymmetry cases.

OPTIMIZING RESULTS

Liposculpture focuses on the clients underlying anatomy to achieve a balanced appearance.

The old way of `lipo` to remove the most amount of volume as possible, without paying attention to body type, is not commonplace anymore.

This beautiful woman is 1 year out and keeps looking better because of her commitment to a healthy lifestyle combined with a positive mindset.

***Let me know what you think about this one.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES how you can optimize your results.

LATEST TRENDS

The most common requests we get are skin tightening and obtaining curves without fat transfer.

Some clients will benefit from both internal and external skin tightening.

Others will need some type of skin removal to achieve their desired look.

Fat transfer is best for those who want highly accentuated curves and/or who have volume loss.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the latest trends in body contouring.

BBL QUALITY

There continues to be a surge in demand for fat transfer (BBL) at our facility.

The amount of fat uptake can be highly variable.

Some factors that determine the quality of fat are:
✔️Where the fat is removed from
✔️Area of the buttocks the fat is transfered to
✔️Genetics
✔️Overall health
✔️Lifestyle

This beautiful client wanted a balanced and curvier shape.

She is now 1 year out.

***The best results consistently are in those individuals who have a positive outlook on life.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES the BBL quality factors.

ANESTHESIA

A very common question we get is, "Do you do awake procedures?"

In our hands, to achieve the results on our page with all hidden entry points while being awake would be impossible.

Safety is our top priority, and we use the latest updates in anesthesia in addition to a modified ERAS (shorter recovery and less post op discomfort) for all of our procedures.

Some facilities will specialize in awake procedures, and we applaud them for it.

However, many of our corrective revision cases happen to be from facilities that do awake procedures and were unable to meet clients` goals.

***This beautiful client wanted the BBL shape without getting fat transfer. Do you think we got this one right?

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what type of anesthesia they use.

BBL REDUCTION

A growing trend we are seeing at our facility is a request for `BBL reduction.`

The common theme we are seeing is that clients feel that they are okay with the fat transfer but want to be more balanced.

This means that the buttocks/hips should match the legs/thighs with smooth transitions lines.

The laterals are the most challenging area to predict (highly variable fat uptake) and also the most common area we are seeing to be reduced.

Most providers will add more `volume` to this area because of how challenging it is, but sometimes the excess volume will not be proportionate.

Even in the best hands, a round 2 might be required for optimal contours.

This beautiful woman is super early in the healing/compression phase, but due to the surge in requests, we are sharing her journey.

***Do you think she looks more balanced now? Comment below.

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

AB SCULPT + FINE TUNING

There is a misconception that they higher the BMI, the more challenging the case.

For some procedures, this might be true.

For ab sculpting, typically the thinner the client is, the less forgiving the tissue is.

This means that creating balance and paying attention to subtle areas of selective fat removal and strategically leaving fat in other areas is extremely important.

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

***Notice how the gentle `S shaped` curve of the back matches the same type of curve in the abdomen when viewed from all angles.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what ab sculpt and fine tuning is.

TOTAL BODY CONTOURING

There are many forms of art, which can also be an expression of oneself.

Tattoos are a form of body art, which some may or may not appreciate.

Dancing is an art of self-expression, which some may or may not appreciate.

Similarly, total body contouring can be viewed as a form of art, which some may or may not enjoy.

This beautiful client is expressing herself after total body sculpting.

This was a revision case that involved body sculpting plus fat transfer.

***If you don`t appreciate expressive art, that`s okay, but remember to be kind.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what total body contouring is.

CURVES

In our opinion, one of the most important factors in body sculpting is getting the curves right.

This means smooth transition lines and, of course, balance.

When the body has an extreme amount of curves and irregular transition areas, it will look unnatural.

Some prefer an exaggerated look, but the most common reason we are seeing secondary cases is to restore balance.

This beautiful woman initially had lipo and fat transfer (BBL) by another provider.

She came to see me for a revision procedure to help create more appropriate curves that are balanced and smooth.

***All revision/secondary cases are reviewed to determine if another procedure will make an improvement.

The key 🔑 is to make sure your entire surgery team COMMUNICATES what it means to have curves.
