A member asked:
How long does it take to recover from a dacryocystorhinostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 months is typical: A dacryocystorhinostomy involves the acute surgery, from which recovery is 1-2 weeks and a 3-6 month interval for the new tear drainage tunnel to develop a well formed epithelial lining so that it can function for you. At that point the stent tubing can be removed.
