What should I do about complications from a Mid face/Neck lift, 4 1/2 weeks post-op? (photos)

I had a bleed when drains were removed. Not drained or cleaned out. Lumps & cords are now showing up. Area under chin is a thick, firm pad. When I look at down at my desk, for example, it presses on throat, feel like I’m about to be choked. Could this worsen? Had 1 visit with a physical therapist, “<40% movement side-to-side. Raising my head up from position shown 0%. This effect my ability to work, to drive, etc. Not sure if I can wait 6-12mos. for this to heal & what type of Dr. to see.
