I had a mini facelift and upper/lower blepharoplasty. I have large bumps below cheekbone and a long line. What is this? (Photos)

The day of the facelift I developed a hematoma. The facelift was reopened to relieve the hematoma and then sewn up a 2nd time. 3 weeks post op, the good side looks fantastic! The hematoma side has 2 large bumps and a long "string" like bump below. These exist below the cheekbone and look awful. It looks worse than photo. Thought it was a seroma but via needle aspiration little if any fluid emerged. Will these go away? When? No changes in 5 days. Very concerned. Also, vision is now very blurred.
