I live in the Madison, WI area and am seriously considering a face lift. The main thing holding me back is how bad it looks behind the ears...even after months/years. I've had a few friends do it and they have "bunching" and prominent, white scaring behind their ears. I've also talked to a few in the industry and apparently this is common? It seems I must decide between sagging or wearing my hair down for the rest of my life?
Generally the scars behind the ears do not look bad in a facelift. Part of the art of performing a facelift includes the ability to re-drape the skin so that there is minimal or usually no bunching. Scars should be well hidden either in the hair line or at the hair line itself. My best advise is don't go to the doctors who performed surgery on your friends. Seek out a board certified plastic surgeon and look at his postoperative pictures. This should reassure you that you will not have to wear your hair down for the rest of your life.
I am 5 weeks post facelift. I had one facial spasm at about 5 days post-op where my facial muscles contracted so the eyes both "squinted" shut very quickly. The second one was at 5 weeks in my right lateral neck muscle underneath the ear (sternocleidomastoid). My swelling is still resolving in the jaw area under the ears, so I am wondering is it a response to this?
Five weeks post-facelift is still very early after the procedure. You did not say what kind of a facelift you had. In the deeper plane facelifts, the dissection goes around some of the nerves. If they have become irritated what you are experiencing is part of the healing. These types of issues should go away with time.
I had a facelift about 3 months ago and in the process of this the back of my neck or nap . Is this normal? Any information would help.
Without a photograph it is difficult to tell exactly what you are talking about. I am assuming that you're talking about a vertical scar in the absolute back of your neck. This is not usually part of a facelift but if someone has excessive amounts of skin in their neck it has to be removed somewhere or cause bunching. The "somewhere" in this case is at the back of the neck. Generally this scar is preferable to bunching of the skin
