My upper lip is very swollen/heavy after my rhinoplasty. Is there a way to speed up the healing on it? (Photo)

Marie968
I got rhinoplasty almost two weeks ago. I understand my nose will be a little swollen for 6 months-year. I'm fine with that since it looks good regardless. But, my upper lip/philtrum is obviously very swollen and heavy. My smile is really awkward. I also understand that this will most likely take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months to resolve. Is there a way I can speed this up? I have parties and New Years coming up, and would love if my lip was just a little less swollen at least :(!!
