I had a mid facelift and developed a hematoma 4 weeks ago. Advice? (photos)

I returned to the dr, he drained the blood, told me it would be reabsorbed, it again swelled up, a week later visited a dr closer, he drained the blood with a syringe again, also mentioned that he was worried a bit of scar tissue is building up, I asked if I should do anything, he said press and massage it several times a day. the hematoma is again filling up. I am starting to worry as this is 4 weeks later, any advice is welcome
