How long will it will take for changes to be reflected?

Hey, All.
So, I`ve recently relaunched my site and I`ve been making periodic changes to my meta description. My description has shown up fine, but the changes I made about three or four days ago are not reflecting on the Google SERP. I`m using Yoast, and everything thing is checking out OK there. Any guess as to about how l long it will take for the change will be reflected? Ive seen change in as little as two days before, but I`m seeing nothing in the last four or so days. Thanks!?

mitch wilson: Maybe try going to google webmaster tools and submitting your URL again to the index crawler.
Nick Fitzgerald: Mitch is correct. Submit it again in webmaster tools to speed up the process of indexation.
Devin Peterson: Yea, if you don't manually submit it and you're site isn't that popular then it can sometimes take a while (even weeks) for a page to get updated.
