How long does it take for the hole to heal?

The skin usually grows over the hole in about two weeks. But the bone underneath needs about three to six months to get strong and hard again.

What can I eat after the visit?

Stick to soft, cool foods like yogurt, pudding, or soup that isn’t too hot. Don’t eat anything spicy or crunchy for the first few days.
