Times may vary depending on the case, so we recommend consulting our team for a more accurate estimate

During the surgical procedure, we will evaluate whether a temporary solution is possible, depending on each patient and case.

The estimated follow-up time is 2 months after the surgical phase. If you cannot return within that time, you may continue with the rehabilitation phase after 8 weeks.
