- Day 1Rest at home with a caregiver present. Expect grogginess from anesthesia, mild to moderate discomfort managed with prescribed medication, and visible bruising and swelling.
- Days 2–7Bruising and swelling peak around day 3, then begin to subside. Most patients are off prescription pain medication within a few days. Continue to rest, keep your head elevated if relevant, and follow your post-op wound-care instructions.
- Week 2Most patients feel well enough to return to a desk job and resume light social activities. Bruising fades significantly. Strenuous exercise, lifting, and bending should still be avoided.
- Weeks 3–4Residual swelling continues to improve. Light cardio is typically cleared at this stage. Your provider will check progress at a follow-up visit.
- Month 2Full physical activity is generally cleared. Results become more refined as deeper swelling continues to resolve.
- Months 3–12Final results emerge as the last 10–20% of swelling subsides and tissues fully settle. Scars (if any) continue to mature and fade.
