Recovery from soft tissue surgery is generally quick and straightforward. Most patients experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter medication and cold compresses. Dr. Matthews will provide detailed post-operative instructions to support your healing and ensure the best outcomes. On average within a few weeks, your gums and soft tissues will heal, revealing a healthier, more balanced smile.
