Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Smoking will not affect the surgery but your general health definitely.
Swelling at operation site requires ultrasound examination to find the cause in form of any hematoma or failure of surgery then comes the management part.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
