How long is the typical treatment + recovery timeline?
The surgical procedure itself takes about 1 to 2 hours under general or local anesthesia. Most patients are discharged within 24 to 48 hours. Initial recovery at home involves 1 to 2 weeks of rest, with gradual return to normal activities by week 3. Full recovery and symptom improvement may take 4 to 6 weeks, during which saline rinses and follow-up visits are essential. Your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline based on your case.
