A member asked:
How long will i be sore after vagus nerve stimulation surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very brief issue: Typically, within 2-3 weeks, post-operative bruising or local tenderness is mostly gone, and unlikely any sensitivity will remain by 6 weeks. If you note swelling, reddening, or warmth at the op sites, contact your surgeon. Otherwise, you should recover uneventfully.
