How long does salt intake affect facelift swelling? I am 3 weeks post-op after lower facelift and lower blepharoplasty. 46 y.o.

Last night I went out with my partner to celebrate our anniversary. The meal was salty but I was enjoying myself. Today, I have visible swelling. How long does salt affect facial swelling? Will it forever be this way whenever I eat salty foods? My health is good and I have low blood pressure. Does the increase in swelling from this incident affect my outcome? I assume if I drink plenty of water, have some coffee, etc. the swelling should go down by tomorrow or the next day. Thank you.
