Swelling is normal following oral surgery.

Swelling will usually peek 48 - 72 hours following surgery and will subside.

My sister just got oral surgery yesterday and her face is really swollen what should i do?

Ice packs should be placed on your sister's face, 20 minutes on and then 20 minutes off repetitively for the first 24 hours following surgery.

Elevate her head on a couple of pillows for a few days.

Swelling may cause some jaw stiffness, this is normal and will subside.
