Hello.
Thanks for posting your query.
After operative procedure some swelling and redness is common due to inflammation from tissue handling.
If it is more and persist , it might be a sign of some infection.I would suggest getting this evaluated by your surgeon for detailed examination and appropriate management.
Wishing you good health.
