Hey, congrats on your decision to go through with the procedure. Before I answer your question, just let me forewarn you that my healing will probably be different than yours. So the swelling lasted 6-8 days for me. And I say that long cus when I went back to work, one of my coworkers asked me if I got punched during my time off. The pain for me was more of a nasal headache than anything. It has been 4 weeks and I still have tenderness and red like a sunburn where the transplants were placed and itchiness on the back of my head. 10 days should be good for a recovery time. I only took 7 and although the scabs were noticeable, I felt like it was enough time for me.
Hope this helps, and good luck. If you got any other questions don't hesitate.
