Probably normal: Sounds about right. If you think things are getting worse rather than improving go back to the dentist.

Probably not: Look at both sides under your tongue, if it looks the same then most likely your natural anatomy. If one side is reder, it is possible that the suction got on the tissue and just caused a little localized bleeding. Check with your dentist at the post op visit.
