Depends..: There are many types of brain procedures with varying recovery times. Wound healing is usually within 10-14 days but overall recover can vary depending on the structures operated on and underlying pathology.

Usually 2-3 months: Obviously the length of time to recover from a craniotomy is influenced by many factors such as the type of procedure, the pathology, age, and other medical problems. But in general, most patients have recovered from surgery in 2-3 months.
