Once your bone graft procedure is complete, there are certain lifestyle changes you should make to help aid in the healing process.
These changes can include the following:
Limit alcohol consumption as it can interfere with the healing process and increase your chance of experiencing a complication.
Consume foods with vitamin D, such as salmon, egg yolks, and milk.
Refrain from smoking as it can decrease oxygen delivery to the tissues and negatively affect blood flow.
Always follow your provider's post-operative care to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.
