Facelift Sores - is this normal? (photos)

lavtaz
I had a facelift and I had large open sores in the front of my temple an behind my ear. At the time I was told it was all fine and that it happens sometimes and was given antibacterial ointment. Was this normal? Does this happen? I still have scars.
