Why is my ear still numb four weeks after facelift? Both ears have changed shape and lobe is longer.

Asked By:FreshNewBeginning in 2000

I had a face lift about four weeks ago. Everything is fine except my ears have changed shape and the lobe is very long. The surgeon says he only stitched around ear and never changed the shape. I know my ears, I have looked at them for nearly 50 years, but he denied that they have changed. Also the right ear is completely numb. I am very happy about everything else, but my ears. Will things return to normal?
