You are such a SHORT time out of surgery, and while I know you have a proactive "kick-ass" approach, with regard to the swelling I don't know if there is much you can do except just allow your body the time it needs to heal. I thought you looked amazing and not all that swollen in light of what you have been through!! Relax, rest well....those are things that help the swelling.
