Robert M. Freund, MD answers: Does this pain after Lifestyle Lift suggest nerve damage?

I had Lifestyle Lift done 9 months ago, and now I'm feeling severe pain in the ear and around the ear area. Is this nerve damage? What can be done about it? Never had this before the procedure, so I'm wondering what happened during the procedure to cause this. Thank you.

If the pain is new in the recent past, even though you had the surgery 9 months ago, then it could be scarring from the surgery or some other less desirable cause. Either way, go back and see your surgeon.

By the way, I have no love lost for the Lifestyle lift. I feel that it is a relic of a procedure, dusted off to  line the pockets of an unscrupulous businessman.
