How long after a surgery can you cope with swelling ?

It is def a factor thats big when doing surgery. Some people say its a month, some say 3 months, some say 9+ months. Some really delusional or scammy surgeons say 2 years for diffrent procedures.

Me myself have done plenty of surgery, 2 rhinos, one bimax and implants, no smaller soft tissue work tho.

From bimax and implants in my experience i would say major swelling is gone at 3 weeks, and i am having more swelling then average from what i heard. At 3 months all looks related swelling was gone. Even tough it could still vary decently how much swelling fluid i retained so it kinda fluctate a lot.

For revision rhino it seems to be the same, first rhino only was like 1,5 months. Really fast.

After 3 months very small and subtle things can happen often not really for the better or anything like that

Also all swelling apart from the specific area affected during the exact surgery or revision is allways gone at like 1 month at most, so if you do rhino and get swollen cheeks as side products when it drains from nose ita gone at 4 weeks from those places
