Not always: With any foot surgery, there is always a risk of swelling when the foot is down due to gravity.  Keep in mind, bunion surgery is a reconstructive procedure and it takes time for the bones and soft tissue to remodel.  If a foot is not allowed to properly heal prior to returning to activity, it will delay the healing process and can result in swelling.  Talk to your surgeon if you are concerned.
