Hi Rick,

Depends on what you were doing when you felt the air exchange? If you were doing something that put pressure on the sinus floor, like drinking through a straw, blowing your nose or some other physical activity, then it's possible that the sinus reopened. To what degree is hard to say.

If you felt the exchange just while regular eating or with no added pressure from another source, then obviously the sinus is still open. Do what degree, that too is hard to tell.

Did you have the sutures removed yet? If so, then it would be wise to call the surgeon, explain what you were doing when you felt the air exchange and get his opinion.

BTW.... did he inform you of any findings like a root tip or other when he did the sinus lift? If not, then I would suggest that you specifically ask him what his exact findings were and if he removed it/them in their entirety.
