I'm wondering how long is wisdom teeth recovery?

Varies: Recovery from any surgical procedure is an individual process. We typically recommend a 2-3 day recovery for most of our patients, although some patients may require a few more days while others resume a normal lifestyle the day after surgery. Your perception of pain and how you respond to it will determine how long it will take for you to recover.

7-10 days: The typical wisdom teeth recovery time is seven to ten days. The length of recovery depends a lot on how badly the wisdom teeth were impacted. There are plenty of things you can do to make the recovery time easier. Ask your surgeon for more information before the surgery.
