Swelling after an implant surgery can last for several days to a week. However, it can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. Applying ice packs and taking prescribed medications can help reduce swelling. Best of luck with your surgery!
A few days to one week at most. Dr. Totonchi
Every person heals somewhat differently. Your surgeon can give you a better idea. Typically less than a week of swelling.
