2-6 weeks usually depending on the specific surgery.
Jaw advancement surgery may take one month or longer to return to a normal baseline. After two months, it may be important to reassess the condition to determine the success of the surgical intervention.
There are several sleep apnea surgeries that are being performed right now and it depends on which one you had. So, it’s difficult to answer your question. I am sure your surgeon can answer this question best.
Surgery is not a single thing and there are many possible procedures. There is unfortunately not a one size answer. You need to talk to you physician about your specific intervention.
