Give it time: You just had surgery and anesthesia. It will take a couple of days for you to bounce back to normal. Give yourself time.

General anesthesia: It is common to be a little tired and groggy for a few days after anesthesia. If these symptoms persist, you should see your regular doctor for further evaluation.

2-3 days: If you received general anesthesia, the effects can last up to 48 hours. Some aesthetics concentrate in the fatty tissues and may take a couple of days to return to normal.
