^ it all depends how much the surgery lasts - if the tooth cannot be just extracted but they have to drill the bone around it to be able to move it then all that drilling makes your face very swollen and obviously pain is stronger and recovery period lasts longer.
If the tooth can just be pulled out without (or with very little) drilling then you're not swollen at all and you're fine in couple of days.
Also - if they have to cut the gums then you also have stitches and that also takes more time to heal and just adds more pain :P
In my case it took around two weeks for pain to be completely gone and for wounds to heal. Some of my friends told me that it lasted almost a month for them

So it seems that her tooth removal wasn't really complicated, good for her
