Ask surigeon: It sounds like you have had some form of maxillofacial reconstruction. It would be very difficult to comment on the healing time as it will vary based on the actual surgery performed and the reason (cancer, cleft palate, etc). Also, the donor site will heal differently than graft site, etc. You should ask your surgeon what they expect your healing time to be like.

Minimum two weeks: The recovery from a palatal procedure varies. You will have a sore throat for 7-10 days and the discomfort may last 2-3 weeks. Often you may be referred to a pain specialist and given medication to control the discomfort.
