Do what your Oral Surgeon tells you to do!!
Recovery depends on the type and extent of jaw surgery. Fastest recovery is to use common sense and follow directives from the Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon.

It really depends what type of surgery you are getting. if its a reconstructive surgery then you need lot more time to recover. If its wisdom teeth extraction usually recover time is about 2-5 days if no complications arises. With reconstructive surgery (car accidents type) recover time varies.
Follow all the instructions you were given. Maintain good brushing/flossing habit. Healthy diet!
