It depends on the individual and whether there are other health problems needing attention. Most people leave the hospital the day after their initial implant - or a few hours after a replacement surgery. The wound should heal in a couple weeks. You can reduce the scarring by using an aloe and vitamin E solution after your wound is sealed. Besides inserting the ICD into your body they also had to run 1 or more leads (wires) from the device into your heart.

Most people can return to work the next day, although strenuous activity or lifting heavy weights must be avoided for seven days after surgery.

Healing time is variable, but anything longer than 3-4 weeks may point to the possibility of a greater-than-average surgically-induced trauma. That said, the larynx is very resilient, so do not get discouraged. While some doctors encourage their patients to talk immediately after surgery, other physicians think that it is unwise for patients to try to talk too soon.

The children are placed in short leg casts at the time of surgery; these casts will be on for up to six weeks. The children should keep their feet elevated for the first 48 hours and/or up to one week after surgery to decrease swelling and pain. They may walk on these casts and most children feel well enough to be up on their feet in three of four days.

This depends on the procedure being performed, but in the case of arthroscopic meniscectomy, which is the commonest procedure, you will generally be able to walk unaided the same day. Your doctor will recommend that you take at least four to five days off work. The time needed will depend on the type of work that you do, and people with physically demanding jobs may be advised to take a minimum of two weeks off work.

to be expected, recovery will vary from person to person and will depend in part on a person's overall health and fitness before the surgery. Barring any complications, some people recover from a successful surgery in a few weeks, others take a few months, and others may take more than a year. Your doctor may suggest a physical rehabilitation program to regain strength and flexibility in your neck and may refer you to a physiatrist - a doctor of physical medicine and rehabilitation.

In general most of our patients are ready to go home the same day. In cases of more extensive procedures an overnight stay is reasonable for observation but still the majority of those patients will go home the next day. Recovery is fast and most patients are able to resume their regular activities (including work) within 1-2 weeks. That is much faster than the usual 4-6 weeks of recovery after open abdominal surgery.

A tattoo's healing will vary from person to person depending on how well you normally heal and how well you care for your new tattoo. Generally you can expect a healing time of 7 - 14 days.

The amount of surgery required and recovery time will depend on the joint problem. Recovery time varies markedly from patient to patient.

Answer: Patients typically spend less than 24 hours in the hospital. It takes most patients a few days to a week to return to work. However, each individual is different.

The mouth heals fast typically. You might be uncomfortable for a few days, but it is not necessary to restrict your normal activities. Please, however, refrain from very heavy exercise after a procedure.

You may wonder how long it takes for the clear front surface of your eye to heal? This is only within 24-48 hours. There are some minimal restrictions in the first weeks following laser surgery. However, most patients are able to drive and resume normal activities the very next day!

Just like every person is different, so are injuries. It is best to ask this question directly to your therapist as they have gathered information to make those assessments.

Piercing healing is as varied as the piercing itself. Many deep tissue piercings will take longer to heal than thinner tissue. However that being said, healing is an ongoing process that in some cases takes a great deal of time. Most of this 'time' will go on unnoticed as the body accepts the implant, but residue tissue can be expected for up to 6-8 weeks in 'most' cases. But it would be impossible to explain the healing of every single type of piercing on this FAQ sheet.

Tattoo healing times can differ greatly from person to person. Most people are healed within 2 weeks, others can heal at a much slower rate. I've seen tattoos that have taken up to a month to heal. And just because it's healed on the outside, doesn't mean the tattoo is completely healed underneath. Healing time can depend on the individual and their health. The better your health, the faster you'll heal. Skin type can also be a factor in this. Healing time can depend on the body part.
