You should ask your treating surgeon, but head elevation is important. Depending on how far out you are from surgery, cold and warm compresses may be helpful. Ice packs are typically used in 30 minute intervals after surgery but warm compresses are better after a few days post-op.
You just wait until your body handles the swelling. Sometimes using callbacks can help and avoiding activities that will promote the swelling will help as well.
