3 days post-op lower face lift surgery - one side swelling more than the other.

dizzie70
Hi ive just had lower face lift surgery 3 days ago and one side has swollen more than the other by quite a bit. I have hard lumps under both ears kind of in my neck but the left is bigger, why would one side swell more than the other, and how long will this swelling and hardness last ? I have no bruising at all. Also when can I chew - ive lost 4lbs in 3 days I am eating but only little things as its sore.
