How long will it take so my cheek wont be swollen anymore? i had my right lower wisdom tooth extracted on tuesday 1/22/13

Week: The swelling from an extraction can vary depending on your health, the difficulty of surgery, and how you follow post-op instructions. Removing impacted wisdom teeth can be very traumatic. Normally the facial swelling is gone in a weeks time.

7-10 days: The selling hits max at 24-48 hrs after surgery. From now on, each day will get better.
