6 weeks post facelift and filler removal. should I have lumps after hematoma evacuation? (Photo)

angelxoxoxo
had a deep plane face lift after removing permanent filler. developed hematoma on both sides. drained x 10 days. face looked nice after draining. a week later i developed scar tissue in the form of a band (visible as lumpy on one side). and two soft lumps (dr poked w. needle no serum in there). what are the soft lumps? when i smile i get dimply on the side with more scar tissue and face gets wide when i smile at the bottom. is swelling making it wide? i am doing conservative steroid ultrasound and massage
