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.

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.
