Face and Neck Lift with Tightness from Ear to Ear

A face and neck lift can sometimes involve placing a permanent suture from ear to ear under the chin to improve the cervicomental angle. This suture may need to be removed.

Numbing and tightness 4 years after facelift

Typically, sensation should return over the first 12-18 months. It is possible however, that you may never completely regain all sensation. The tight sensation typically fades over the first year as well although it is possible that it could persist longer. I would follow up with your surgeon to ensure that there is nothing else that may be contributing to the symptoms that you are describing.
