Hello!
Thank you for the query.
You should consult general surgeon with this issue. Please note that hematoma is a source of infection. Blood contains ingredients great for bacteria grow. So sooner or later this hematoma will turn into an abscess. As you take Plavix, there will be a need to switch it to Haprine injection in case of surgical treatment.
Surgeon can decide about it incision and drainage.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
