Recovery time varies depending on your individual proclivity for healing. Bandages are generally applied for 1-3 days, and stitches removed after 5-10 days. For the most part, swelling and sometimes bruising lasts 7-10 days. Most patients recommence work in 1-2 weeks. The face and neck will feel tight for 1-3 months, and any numbness will be temporary.
