Posted under Lower Facelift q&a

I had a lower facelift. It looks like the tragus is being pulled forward. Can this be repaired? (Photo)

My surgeon says this is a fine result. I think it the tagus is continuing to pull forward and looks strange. Also bottom of earlobe looks a little off. Can this be fixed and is it a difficult or easy procedure? I did not have any incisions in front of my ears as most lower facelifts have. He stated they were hidden. I wonder if this caused the pulling situation.
