Swelling after open wound surgery?

the first 4 pictures are from today, the last one was taken 2 days ago

im almost 1 months past op.

It doesnt hurt, but I noticed what seems to be swelling 4 days ago, is this an issue?

Also do I need to shave the hair around the wound? My GP said to not shave, I asked what about if hair go into the wound, she said i could use a scissor for those.

Should I cut the hair around it?

2 weeks post op

changing dressings 1x daily

Can the hairs be an issue? Also is the white spot i marked on the 2nd picture normal?
