Feel Good 4 Months After Facelift. But Only 2 Hours Per Day. Any Explanation?

I had a mini-lower lift 4 months ago. I had a lot of issues with recovery most of which are slowly resolving. My primary remaining issues are tightness, pulling and numbness around ears. But here's the strange part: For the last 6 weeks when I wake up in the morning and for the first 1.5 - 2 hours of the day, I have almost no facial discomfort.(Even usually numb areas feel completely normal!) Everyday I hope the normalcy will last longer than 2 hours, but so far it hasn't. Any ideas?

Facelift recovery and scarring

Recovery after facelift may take time. However, persistent discomfort may be associated with a progressively thickening scar or scar contracture that should be addressed. I perform may facelift procedures in Los Angeles and ask patients to massage daily.

Awkward sensations of pain 4 months after facelift may be normal, but an exam is necessary to determine any issues with healing.

Dear SallieSu2, You should really visit your plastic surgeon so that you can have a full exam It may also depend on any other medical issues that you may or may not have It requires a more thorough evaluation than we can perform online Best regards, Nima Shemirani
