Typically, initial swelling and bruising can be expected after the procedure, and they gradually subside over time. In most cases, you can anticipate the initial swelling to begin improving within the first week or two after surgery. However, it is important to note that each individual heals at their own pace, and it may take several weeks for the swelling to fully resolve. Bruising usually subsides within two to three weeks, but it can vary from person to person. Rest assured that your surgeon will closely monitor your progress during follow-up appointments and provide guidance on techniques to reduce swelling and promote healing. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, following post-operative instructions, and practicing patience will help optimize your recovery and achieve the desired outcome.
