Will Facelift "Mistakes" Correct Themselves with More Time?

I had my facelift done 6/30/10 and my left earlobe has a crease in it. Behind my right ear, there is a "bunching" where the skin was sewn together. Will these flatten out or will I need revision when it's healed. How long after surgery do I have to wait to get a revison. I also have a "damaged" nerve and cannot move my eyebrow up. To help me look more balanced, the Dr. gave me botox shots above both brows. He assures me that the damage won't be permanent.The Dr. has 30 yrs. exper. with facelifts
