Diving and perforated sinus

Had an upper molar extracted a month ago by the Dentist, this resulted in a thru and thru perforation into the sinus (approx.3mm)  .  Won't go into the gross details  , but have been on modified duty last 30 days because with this hole in my head I cannot work a fire or wear SCBA.   Perforation did not heal or close up so Dentist referred me Periodontics Specialist couple of days ago. His plan is to surgically repair  perforation  with skin graft/flap from my upper palate. He says no elevation or pressure changes for at least two weeks ie; straws, blowing nose or trip from Reno to Bay area.  He believes 3-4 mos before any Diving.

He has not performed this procedure on someone who Dives or wears an SCBA, so I am reaching out to hopefully find any information or personal experiences (if someone wishes to share) regarding sinus perforation post treatment and Diving or SCBA use. Thanks.

 Looks like I will be putting DOTY on hold  .   But,  pursuing AOTY  and actually posting fish  .

Sorry to hear that Russ.
You might want to try posting the same question on a diving forum as well.
Heal up soon bro.

Best wishes and a speedy recovery,

Wow Russ, that's crazy! Hope you get through this quickly, they need you back on the line, and you need to get back in the water!

Sounds like a blessing to me! Straight equalization from mouth to sinus, what's the problem?

Thanks for sparing us the gross details.

Hope you heal soon buddy

I wish it were that simple (100ft here I come) I would be a happy diver .  But have problems just going from Reno to Tahoe City. If it wasn't so painful, drinking a  beer or having tomato soup with Tabasco, and then some coming out your nose  ,  would be funny  . 
Emailed DAN Medic advice hoping they may have some advice.  So You folks keep on posting pics, reports and vids of your dive adventures   to help keep me sane.

Man... I feel your pain... I had sinus surgery a few years ago to straighten out a deviated septum and widen my sinus openings. The recovery was tough, but the worst of it was over pretty quickly.

Hang in there...

...and then some coming out your nose...

No pics - didn't happen

Get well soon Russ!
