Dr. Hardesty will provide detailed pre- and post-operative instructions for facial implant surgery. Recovery generally only takes a few days after implant placement and return to full daily activities. Full exercise is limited during the first 6 weeks and is progressively allowed as long as the swelling doesn’t return.
