Answer: Ear Pain
Hello there
Ears may feel blocked after a necklift due to the swelling in the area .
It should not be painful though . If it is painful then I think you would be wise to seek medical attention . It doesn't necessarily have to be your surgeon ; a family physician can check if you have an ear infection .
All the best

Answer: Blocked ear canal after a facelift
The most likely cause of your problem is some dried blood in your ear canal. During surgery a plug is usually placed in the ear canal to try to prevent this from happening. You should see your surgeon as soon as possible and may need to have your ear canal gently irrigated out to remove any clotted blood and trapped fluid.

Answer: Ear pain after necklift
During neck lift surgery, it is not uncommon for the surgeon to place a cotton ball in the ear canal. Despite this, blood can still get inside the canal and give you the "blocked" sensation. If it is significantly painful, though, you should see your surgeon. It is possible that you have an ear infection, but of more concern would be if you developed a hematoma / blood collection in front of the ear. This requires early surgical drainage. Please seek medical attention.
