Hi Jedi,
The procedure that you had done to close the sinus perforation sounds like it was what is referred to as a Buccal Fat Pad Graft. A piece of fatty tissue is taken through a small incision made way up high on the inside of your cheek. This tissue is then sutured together with your other oral tissue over the perforation. The idea of this fatty tissue rotting is a bit misconstrued but it's purpose is to encourage the formation of blood cells to grow your own fatty tissue to create a thick, complete closure of the perforation. This oral surgery can be a big deal and it is imperative that you follow your oral surgeons post operative instructions.
I'm not so sure it's a good thing that it's infected. What did your dentist say at your last post op appointment?
