hello.
thanks for your query.
If your would is healthy, it should not worry you.
If any new swelling is visible , it is best examined by your operating surgeon.
You have not mentioned how long before the operation was done.wound healing and development of swelling in the area would depend on that .
Hope this is helpful.take care!
