Under eye swelling/puffiness post Cataract surgery?

saffron2
My mother recently(3 days ago) had Cataract surgery on one eye. So far, her eye looks and feels fine, but she has noticed significant bags under both of them. She is using several eyedrops as well. Is this considered a normal side effect? And if so, will it go away or is this something that might be permanent? Prior to the procedure, she never had these bags.
