Exactly how much time would that have taken?

You know "that episode" Threshold

Watched it again last night after watching Violent Night and it bugs me a bit that they were able to transform Paris and Janeway back so fast, exactly how much time did this uber genetic undo take? We don't know because it all happens off screen and is probably very gross and horroresque. But geez I'd love to know what the Doctor did in such a short time.

 

[Is It Over Yet?]

Aside from pulling some kind of transporter magic and pulling their last known pattern for reconstitution I am not sure how they could recover from salamander mode. It was a pretty extreme transformation! Not raising the salamander kids in cetacean ops was a huge missed opportunity too. The angsty teenage lizard baby stories practically write themselves.

I think their kids showed up in Lower Decks

That's another reason why "that episode" goes down easier of you figure it was a nightmare Tom had from eating too much of Neelix's cooking. Time stops being relevant then.
