Im 36 & healthy. I have 4 vials of sculptra in my cheeks. 2 are 2yrs old and 2 are 1yr old. I'm replacing a root canal tooth with a dental implant & I will need a minor sinus surgery with bovine bone placement. The tooth is the last top tooth. Could this surgery disrupt/infect my sulptra? Also is there a high succes rate in this location assuming I've selected a qualified provider? I've had trouble finding data on the risk of infection as well. I will be taking an antiobiotic.
