Although you will not feel or remember anything from the surgery itself, you will likely feel some discomfort and swelling in the days and possibly weeks after the procedure. These symptoms will be managed by your medical team with medication and other treatments. While you will see the results of your implants almost immediately after surgery, your face will be affected by swelling for weeks and possibly months after the procedure. Only after the swelling is gone will you see the final effects of your surgery.
Recovery time varies from patients to patient and depends upon which procedure and how many procedures you receive. However, most patients can return to work within a week after the surgery and are fully recovered in four to six weeks. Recovery time will be accelerated if you follow doctor recommendations and attend follow-up appointments.
