Yeah, mine was a Halloween accident last year.

The swelling can get worse because essentially when you lay down, your face is now level with your heart, not elevated above it. ESPECIALLY if you’re a side sleeper, you might want to stack an extra pillow behind you so that you stay on your back/tilted.

Mine probably took 3-4 days to be at a point that wasn’t “impeding service”, which essentially meant my face and what could’ve happened was the focus of the restaurant and my boss wanted the restaurant to be the focus of the restaurant. It took about 2.5 weeks for all of the green and yellow colors to go away.

Also, ice the shit out of it. It will help decrease swelling significantly for the first 24 hours after an injury like this.
