Will mucocele swelling go down post surgery?

I had surgery to remove a mucocele 1 week ago. It was quite big and taken from my lower lip. The maxiofacial surgeon gave me 4 stitches. It was swollen really bad after and has gone down a lot and no longer hurts. However, when I smile now, the part of the lip where the mucocele was is still noticeably swollen, making my smile look uneven. Will the swelling continue to go down and approximately how long will it take? I'm going back to work tomorrow and feeling very self conscious.
