Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear don't worry due to surgery or trauma it may became edematous and uvula appears as stretched out so it will subside its own. Use hot water gargle, avoid excessive talking, try to sleep supine position. Still symptoms persisten you need to consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.
Take care
