Call surgeon!: Any new or increasing pain, redness or swelling after any procedure is not usual. Please call the surgeon who performed the procedure or talk to the doc covering for him/her if he/she is not available.

See your surgeon: Likely some hematoma or swelling as part of healing, but infection or disruption can occur.
