I would be getting gingivectomy few days before flying off to the Europe which takes approx. 14 hours. What is the minimum amount of time required for healing/recovery to take place before I can fly? And, would there be any complications that may arise on board a long flight? Thank you!

With the tooth behind the others, the tissues alter the look. Even gum contouring is likely temporary, so braces is where to start.After braces are done, tissue contouring can be considered.
You may or may not show scarring/colour discrepancy depending on the nature of the graft and the colour of the graft tissue versus the colour of the gums where the graft was placed. Hope this helps.
