Default 8 month old just received a shunt - question

Hello there...I was wondering if someone could answer this question for me. My 8-month old son had shunt surgery 4 days ago. We took off the bandages last night and I was a little stunned at the size of the bump. Is there usually swelling after the surgery or will it stay like this? Does the bump appear smaller after time or will it appear smaller as he gets older? Any help is appreciated...Thanks.
