Hi thanks for your question.
Your face is cut bruised and swollen and you have not seeked any medical advice.Although swelling will disappear once the bruise and cuts get healed but you should seek medical advice urgently to prevent ( treat if already infected ) any infection and prevent scaring on face.
Hope this answers your question.
