Post-Surgery Care
After surgery, you will receive instructions for keeping the surgical site clean, including using an antiseptic mouth rinse twice daily. A liquid diet is recommended initially, followed by a soft diet. You will be prescribed a mild painkiller.
Expected Post-Surgery Effects
● Swelling at the operated site.
● Numbness along the suture line.

Recovery typically takes 10 to 15 days, with a return to work possible in 2-3 days. Results become apparent within 2-3 weeks as swelling subsides, but the final outcome may take 2-3 months.
