For the basic oral piercings, ie. lip piercing, monroe, labret etc etc; the swelling begins to go down after a few days. Since the cartilage for a dimple piercing is much thicker than that of a lip piercing, the swelling will take a little bit longer to go down. Usually 3-10 days before the swelling begins to go down, depending on how much you play with the jewelery, irritate the piercing, and even how you clean it can all alter the amount of time your piercing is swollen for!
Well you need to treat the piercing like it's a brand new piercing, so get on something for the swelling and treat it like it's new. The swelling should settle down in a few days.
Swelling with any lip piercing is normal and to be expected, it's nothing new or frightening, just maintain the piercing and the swelling will ease over time.
you can take ibuprofen or suck on ice to help the swelling.

Just get a long lip stud. The piercer should've put that in to begin with.
