Yes, this is called a pixie ear deformity and it is seen when a prior facelift was performed and placed too much tension on the ear. It can be fixed with a revision facelift and maneuvers to release and reposition the earlobe, then redraping the skin so there's no tension pulling on the earlobe.
Hello, hope you are well. That is a 'pixie ear' deformity. It is straightforward to correct under local anesthesia. I would ask your facelift surgeon to revise this, but rest assured the lobule can be restored to a normal position.Best,Dr. Tower
Surgeons call that a pixie earlobe. Easy to correct if the surgeon knows how. It involved detaching and rounding out the earlobe while reworking the surrrounding skin. You’d be surprised how common this is. My Instagram feed has many examples of how it’s done

Typically, I receive 85% retention in the mid-face when doing a fat transfer. You can do fat injections just by itself. You may also consider Sculptra if you're not ready for another surgery.
Fibrosis or excessive subcutaneous tension may be responsible. I would suggest a consultation to discuss options for fibrous release through injections or minor procedures - if you are a candidate. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon
