6 weeks out from a facelift and I woke up with blood/fluid coming out of my ear canal. Is this normal?

cdelucia
it will be 6 weeks since my face lift procedure. I do have swelling under the chin area and am very concerned. I started to massage the area as told by my Doc and the first night I did this I woke up with blood/fluid (small amount) coming out of my ear canal, both ears. Is this also normal? Thank you for your answer in advance.
