It really depends on the person, the amount of "correction" and the surgeon. I had mine done with adenoid removal and sinus surgery and I was driving the next day. The previous adenoid and tonsil surgery I was up that evening, and the sinus surgery after the first one I was up and around at the mall in a couple hours.
If there is going to be a prescription of rinsing with saline, buy or get the kit from the doctor before hand and practice. It can be a bit awkward to try when there's packing up in there. In my case the packing was so crammed in there the pressure gave me a headache and when it came out it felt so good. it was also really disgusting. I highly prefer the Ayr brand to the Neil med, both for bottle shape and the top closing on the Ayr brand. i have more than one so i can clean them up between rinses.
BTW those saline sinus kits are great for anyone with allergies, and safe for pregnant women since it is just salt water. Anytime i work in the dirt or there's a forest fire or a wind storm, the stuff coming out is amazing and grossitating.
