Greetings.  The concern would be for a DVT (deep venous thrombosis).  You should go to the nearest emergency room for evaluation.  In addition, your primary physician and plastic surgeon should also be notified.  Best wishes.

If you have significant swelling in one lower extremity and/or pain, then a DVT has to be ruled out. Best to be evaluated in person at an ER. You should also be able to communicate with you surgeon.
