It's pretty individual depending on how many are removed, how impacted they might have been and what how much stess was put on the jaw when they were removed. I had all four taken out when I was 17 and I looked like a chipmunk for about three days. The pain was pretty minimal after a day or two and the swelling was completely down by the fourth day.

It depends on how deep the roots were on your wisdom teeth, your personal gum sensitivity, and a little on the skill of your surgeon. Some people's swelling goes down in about 2 days and others have swelling for up to a week. If it goes much longer than a week or doesn't lessen, I'd suggest scheduling a follow-up with your doctor, dentist, or surgeon.

Swelling could last up to a week. Depending on the swelling, if it's hot and uncomfortable you should go back to where you got you wisdom teeth out, could be that the socket has closed before it's time amd fluid could be trapped inside needing to come out. Or could be a dry socket.

Yes, it is normal for your face to swell after having your wisdom teeth out. This is because of the nature of the procedure, as they take your teeth out the surrounding areas of the mouth are inflammed, causing irritation and swelling after the surgery.

It should take about a week or a little more. I had complications with mine so it took longer. Don't fret, it goes away faster than you know it!
