Bumps on the side of my face 7 months after MACS facelift. Should I be concerned and is it noticeable? (photo)

I had a MACS facelift done Jan. 6, 2022. 7 months later I noticed 3 bumps down the side of my face. I just met with my doctor who told me there wasn't anything he could do and that this was acceptable. He wanted me to get a 2nd opinion so that I could hear from another doctor that this was totally a good job and that it's not noticeable.
