I just had lower jaw surgery done 6 days ago on the body of my right mandible were it was broken below the line of 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) that had to be removed previous to implantig two titanium plates. I have a hard lump on my lower cheek. How long will it take for the swollen lump to reduce to a normal level?
Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor, I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have lower jaw surgery a week ago, after surgery generally swelling occurs, now for this you should wait for 3 days and if your swelling increases or you're swelling doesn't resolves then consult your dentist again and get local examination done, Hope this will help you.  Wish you good health Regards
