Moh's Surgery Near Eye- Is This A Complication?

guitarbanae
Moh's surgery on cancer 1 - 1 1/2 inches from eye. 2 days post-op and swelling is much worse than before. (bottom eyelid is swollen all the way up to eye and eye is beginning to water.) Is this normal? Should I go back to the surgeon and let them check it out? During the procedure, I had a lot of bleeding and they had to cauterize some of the blood vessels. So, I'm a little worried of a possible clot.
