I agree with Kris - it could well be the buildup of lymph fluid.
I had swelling in the neck/jaw area for a long time after treatment. In fact, just the other day I happened to see an old passport photo that was taken a full year after I finished radiation, and it still showed some signs of swelling. (It did eventually go away.)
