Got all 4 wisdom teeth taken out 4 days ago, and i was wondering how long it will take for swelling to subside the swelling is only on my left cheek?

Varies: Sometimes less than a week, sometimes a week to ten days. The extractions on the left may have been more difficult. Ask your surgeon if that was the case, they are not all the same.
