How Long Does A Stapedectomy Take To Heal?
Hello there. Does having a stapedotomy/stapedectomy means a person cannot jog, run, exercise, jump, specially do swimming, tilt his head up and down, left and right, etc. forever? Or after certain recovery time, all these activities can be performed? Thank you.

Hi,
It would take at least 6-8 weeks for the scar to heal. You could do all the routine work except for diving, forceful blowing of the nose, and lifting heavy objects.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
