Recovery for any surgical procedure can and does vary according to the individual, their health stats and general level of fitness; however, there are some general rules about recovery that should be applied to the surgery. Generally, you are able to return non-strenuous work within 2 to 3 days after your procedure. However, we recommend that you should wait at least 10 to 14 days before attempting more intense activities such as gym work, competitive sporting activities or heavy physical work.
