Hi,

Swelling on cheeks seems related to possible injury during jet ski procedure. Primary relief with ice application and intake of ibuprofen tablet after meals if no history of drug sensitivity. You can take flight for sure after 48 hours without problems.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
