Peculiar fold after facelift
What you see seems to be present on both sides. It looks like a fold of skin created by trying to keep the incision shorter. Ask your doctor what this is and to reassure you that it is normal for their patients the way they do the surgery and that it will resolve. I have not personally seen anything like it though.

Crease after Facelift
The creases do represent a gathering of skin, and these areas should improve with time over the next few months. The more lax your skin was prior to surgery the more likely to get these folds.

Necklift facelift and creases
Dear Lynda,
the one on the right looks like swelling and should improve
the one on the left may need an additional procedure to remove the pleat

Will involve reopening the scar behid the ear extend the scar into the hair line and widely undermine the skin under the ear and behind the ear.

And as Dr D Ralph Millard taught, "you can not take from Peter to give to Paul". You had a Short Scar FaceLift whether you fully understood the theory and techniques is another issue. By decreasing the incision lengths and limiting the undermining of the skin flap, especially in the post auricular aesthetic zone you are forcing...
