14 week post op Modified Mac Face Lift & still areas of swelling, indents, lumps, dimples & puffiness. Is this normal?

Ollie11
I wake up every morning not knowing where the lumps & bumps will be next! When I massage, it seems to swell and takes 48 hours or so to get back to how it was before. PS said its normal and I'm just saw healer. I did suffer with extreme swelling & bruising - could this be the reason? Thank you in anticipation.
