I would think not but you did not give me enough info. Ask her Dr. If she gives you permission to speak with her Dr.

Her surgeon would be best to weigh in and should be informed promptly. Sometimes, bleeding is seen for few days and is part of normal healing, other times may signal early complications and that’s why is critical for the surgical team to be aware.
