I'm 10 months post op & neck is knotty & infected - can I risk waiting until the 1 year mark?

I had a lower facelift and neck lift. My ears are swollen shut and ringing very loudly. I have red streaks going down from the side of my face all the way down my neck. My neck is knotty and all infected. My family doctor gave me antibiotics, but says it's not his place to treat complications for a facelift. . What kind of risk am I if I let it go out until at least reach the one year mark? Im so worn out from the pain and infection. I went to an ENT. he was no help. Thank you
