swelling: It depends on when your surgery was . In my experience my patients have very little post - op swelling due to a combination of bandaging, post - op injection and technique. If you are concerned for any reason see your surgeon. He/she would want to see you and address your concerns.

Yes: Swelling is normal and how it lasts is an individual thing like if you have high blood pressure or something else.

WHEN?: When was your surgery? I always tell patients; I cannot predict post-op swelling. Some patients have minimal swelling, while others can have some degree for several months. Everyone is different.
