Can cirrhosis cause facial swelling?

Additional information on my question: I just recently got diagnosed with non-alcoholic cirrhosis, can this cause facial swelling. About a month ago I woke up with my face all swollen, it has gone down a little since then but the continued swelling causes me concern. I have seen a doctor and they haven't found a cause and aren't seeming to be to concerned about it. It isn't fluid retention, we did try an anti-diuretic and it didn't help. Other then that I haven't started any new meds in years and my eating habits haven't changed either. Everything else is basically the same. In case it helps to know I am a 48 year old female.
