How long it takes to recover from underarm surgery must be decided according to its primary disease: first, if the surgery is done for an ordinary superficial swelling in the armpit, or the surgery is done because of fox odor, it is usually possible to fully recover after the wound is completely healed and the stitches are removed, which is about two weeks. The time for removing the stitches of underarm surgery will be about 10 days, and after removing the stitches, the shoulder joint can be properly active, and the function of the whole surgical site and the shoulder joint can basically be returned to normal in about 3-4 days; secondly, if the blood vessels or nerves in the underarms have been damaged due to the surgery, the time for recovery will have to be longer. If the blood vessels have been operated on, it will take about one month to fully recover, but if the nerves have been anastomosed, it is possible that only the symptoms will improve, but the function may not be fully recovered.
