Incision site swelling or visible bar?

Hi, im 17F and im a week and a half post op from the nuss bar surgery w/ cryo with a haller index of 4.9. I’m having some pretty bad swelling from the top incision site and I asked my surgeon and he said that it is partially from post op swelling and the bar because I an quite thin with a BMI of 17. I was wondering if any others had a similar experience or swelling post nuss or is this a operational error? Thanks!
