Yes,the hematoma probably caused the problems. Bad luck. It can be corrected but be patient. For best result wait 6-12 months. Go back to your doctor if you trust him, otherwise look for

I am suffering from the same issue 6 months after lower facelift and neck-lift. How did you get it resolved?

Since the pictures 5 months have passed and have had cortisone injections which has softened it and surgeon has said will need to reoperate. He intends to open up the existing scar under my chin remove the scar tissue and then use glue which will ensure no further haematomas. He will carry this out at around the 11 months after op date and says that it will be a day surgery and only a day or so off work afterwards. On reflection not really clear - why is 'glue' better? does the suggested procedure sound reasonable?

No I had a full facelift and no lipo. Didn't need lipo as had no real flabby bit, this has appeared after the op.
I am going back for a further cortisone injection to further soften the lump behind the scar. It's ok being soft but will it go or will it just be flabby? Also with regard to the 'hole' and the vertical bands down the neck when I extend - do you know why these have occurred and will they go?
I have no idea why I had the hematoma, 110% fit so this surprised everyone. Have been told that occasionally this can happen and it's just bad luck??
Many thanks
