Hello,
I think she may need a month to get fully recovered as you describe a relatively deep wound. Also, she should take care to keep it clean in order not to get infected. I don't believe that she will get her skin as it was. Probably a scar will remain there.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
