Anal fissure healing time varies, but complete healing can take 6-12 weeks with either medical or surgical treatments. Surgical options like lateral internal sphincterotomy can offer faster healing, potentially allowing some to return to work within a week or two. However, complete healing with surgery still takes about 6 weeks
