A member asked:
4 week post check for bone graft was great, with everything healing nicely. is it okay to put pressure on the face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tricky: cannot say in your particular case, but generally, the rule of thumb is 6 weeks for healing, on the other hand, how much pressure is someone going to put onto the face?
