Just had a minor skin lesion removed?
Much of it depends on the extent of the injury, what be done to repair it and if there be any extenuating circumstances or complications involved with the injury.
For example, a simple stab to the chest cause a collapsed lung (pneumothorax) would often require the insertion of a chest tube to reinflate the lung. The lung would be reinflated inwardly a couple of days and the chest tube could be taken out soon after. At that time it will take 6-8 weeks in broad for the wound to heal to full strength.
Similarly, a colossal chest wound that has gotten infected would expected take longer to treat, even with a chest tube surrounded by place to reinflate the lung. Additionally, there may even be the obligation to get surgery to induce scarring in the site of the injury to close up the percolate.
