Hard Swollen Mass Under New Jawline 1 Month After Facelift/Necklift? (photo)

tvm70
It's been a month since my facelift/necklift. There is a hard swollen mass that sits under the beautiful new jawline that I have had drained every time I visit the doctor. It fills up again in another day. Is this normal? I am told it is...but I'm getting worried. This ropey long seroma is now getting softer and growing larger...is this a normal progression.
