Wound healing : The time for wound healing varies but if all goes well you should be healed in two week. Avoiding infection is important.

Surgeon: Your surgeon will be your best resource for a clear answer. It all depends on his/her experience with similar cases, technique, your comorbidities and local findings at the time of the surgery.
