Depending on the location of the excised lesion was, it is normal to have bruising and swelling. This will resolve in time. If there is a discharge or frank bleeding you should consult your doctor, or if you have a fever, otherwise with time your skin should go back to normal.
You should contact the surgeon who performed the procedure asap. If there is an infection, you must be evaluated immediately.
Wait for the eyelid to heal after the basal was removed. The swelling will be temporarily related to the the basal cell removal. Would follow in several weeks to be sure that the swelling resolved back to normal.

That can be normal but I would ask your surgeon to confirm.
