What are some remedies to expedite the process of getting facial swelling to go down? (Photos)

ToutNaturel
I got PRP injections to my under eye hollows and nasolabial folds 48 hours ago & I'm still as swollen as I was on day 1. I started icing my face the morning of day 2 (approx 14 hours after procedure) and stayed upright as much as possible. Night 2, I slept at a 45 degree angle. Day 3, having woken up to a swollen face, I took ibuprofen to no avail. It's been 6 hours since, & I'm still very swollen. HELP. Is there anything, ANYTHING else I can do to expedite this process. Bandage my face?
