Ask your surgeon: Your own ophthalmological surgeon would be the best person to ask about this. S/he will be most familiar with your case and how the procedure goes. Best wishes.

Retinal detachment. : Depends on how you heal and what is placed in the eye during surgery, silicone oil vs. Gas. Typically, 2-4 months are required for complete healing. 6 weeks at least before returning to normal activity. I am sure your retina specialist will discuss this with you as you continue to heal post-operatively.
