Is increased resting heart rate normal 2 weeks post mommy makeover?

QueenBee0916
I had mommy makeover performed on 11/15/16. This included breast reduction with lift, TT and liposuction. I am 39, 5'2" and approx 145lbs. My breast size was a 36G and was taken down to what should be a full D. I've noticed since surgery that my resting heart rate stays between 90-100. Prior to surgery, it was typically in the 70s. My recovery has been easy. No pain meds after 3 days and have already been driving again. Is the increased pulse due to body continuing to heal itself?
