Never. The saddle should be positioned at the correct height for your legs relative to the cranks, period.
The problem you're experiencing might be due to the continuing process of healing, as you said, or you might just not be flexible enough to handle the new, lower bar position. Even if the latter, however, you shouldn't attempt to fix the problem via saddle height.
