Exercise smartly: Healing after such surgery is complete within a few weeks. However, some support structures in your neck and back of the skull have been removed.

Talk to Your Surgeon: I wouldn't take it lightly because the consequences can be serious. In general, it depends on how successful the procedure was, how you've healed, etc. Only your surgeon can tell you after examining you.
