It takes at least 6 weeks for initial healing of your jaw. Physical activity: You can resume light physical exercise as soon as you feel able following your surgery.
Depending on the location and size of the cyst it can take 2-3 weeks to recover. Total bone healing, once the cyst is removed, can take up to 6 months.
