Hi thanks for your query,well do give periodic cold ice compression and anti-inflammatory tablets will help to reduce .Howeveryou need to understand after any lip procedure it is common to see massive swelling which takes  atleast 2 weeks to resolve .hence do not panic.Do have a periodic follow up with your surgeon .HOPE THIS HELPS

Richard Pecunia, MD, FACS · Answer

3 days after surgery is very early after any procedure, particularly around the lips. Typically this will take several weeks to begin to subside and several months to return to normal. Be patient and keep following up with your doctor.
