Yes, but to different extents. It depends on the the patient and the condition of his or her teeth, as well as their body's internal healing systems. Level of swelling is also determined by the skill of the operating surgeon.

Swelling is caused by a pooling of fluid in specific areas of the body. In the case of wisdom teeth removal, the body is producing a natural response to what it perceives as trauma. By saturating the area with fluids, the body is trying to allow the affected area to heal in a protected, nutrient-rich environment.

So, it is plausible that a skilled surgeon operating on a patient with an easy case of impacted wisdom teeth would produce little swelling. On the other hand, an unskilled surgeon operating on someone with highly impacted teeth would probably cause a lot of swelling.

Wisdom tooth removal result in face?

Wisdom tooth removal can lead to temporary swelling and bruising in the face, particularly in the jaw and cheeks, as the body reacts to the surgical procedure. Most patients experience some degree of discomfort and swelling in the days following the extraction, which typically subsides within a week. In some cases, if there are complications or infections, swelling may persist longer.
