The recovery timeline varies for each individual, and it is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions. Generally, you can expect to return to work or school within 1 to 2 weeks after the surgery, depending on the extent of the procedure and your rate of healing. However, it is advisable to avoid strenuous activities, exercise, and contact sports for several weeks to allow for proper healing. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines tailored to your situation to ensure a smooth recovery.
