Hi,
detailed clinical history and examination required. you should mention whether she has got any bleeding disorder or not. secondary infection in the operative wound also can be the cause. any vascular compromise to be suspected. swollen leg may be a sign of some infection . please consult your surgeon he will guide you in this issue.
