How long will it take my jaw to heal after operation?

Q. I am going to be having surgery on my jaw next month but am concerned about how long the healing process will take. I am a keen boxer and am just wondering how long it will be before I can get back in to the ring, so to speak?
A.

Hello, 


The length of the healing process depends on numerous factors like the type of surgery, your jaw and post-op complications. You should talk to the surgeon after the operation. Even if everything heals very fast I would not jeopardize the success of the surgery with a potential boxing accident for a long time. You might want to wait until the first scan .
