In my opinion, swelling after facial procedures is to be expected. With procedures such as a injections into the face, there will be some edema. When one uses  p r p  injections into the face, this swelling usually lasts between two and four days. Keep your head elevated and avoid alcohol and salt. Hope this helps.

PRP causes a lot of inflammation.  That's partly how it works.  For now I would use ice packs.  However, you should make a call to your doctor to see what he thinks.  If you have any pain I would start to worry about an infection and you need to get on top of that quickly.
