In order to answer this question most accurately, I would need to know where the cyst is and what size the cyst is, as well as possibly what type of cyst. Obviously a large cyst will require a more expansive surgery than a smaller cyst. More extensive surgery may be associated with also being possibly more painful or taking longer to heal. The area involved… Whether it’s the upper jaw or the lower jaw, and the associated structures can also impact the healing time as well as the extensiveness of the surgery. And finally, there are many different types of oral cysts, and depending on the specific type of cyst, some of the cyst may behave more or less aggressively than other cysts. It’s quite likely, but a more aggressive variant may also require a more extensive surgery which will lead to a longer recovery or a more painful recovery.
