How long is dimple piercing usually swollen for?

Hey mine have been pierced for just under a week and I still have the 'chipmunk' pouch! Have been taking ibuprofen religiously and sucked a little ice.. but I am prepared for the swelling to remain for up to another week.

Things that can help are ibuprofen, saline/sea salt washes a couple of times daily, clean ice and keeping your mouth clean by rinsing with alcohol free mouthwash after eating/drinking anything other than water.

Also, my bars were a little tight which can hinder the healing process and keep the cheek swollen, make sure you have enough room for the swelling! It will aid the healing process :)
