Swelling doesn't always indicate infection, new piercings around eyes and lips will swell, this is not unusual, the swelling generally eases in the following 5 days post piercing. However if the jewellery is tight in the piercing then this can cause issues with the healing and cleaning of the piercing which can lead to infection.
