Your recovery all depends on the location of the surgery, the extent of the removal and size of the defect prior to closure, the amount of tension and the type of closure. Swelling is more likely to occur around the eyes, as well as bruising. Lips tend to swell also. Ears may be more painful postoperatively than other sites. Usually within two to four weeks, the closure begins to look more presentable, but again, this all depends on the factors mentioned previously.
