The area below my left earlobe appears to have excess skin after a recent facelift procedure. How do I go about getting this corrected?

Thank you for your question and photo! How long post surgery are you?  Has this been there the whole time? This can be removed- I would think your surgeon would want to do this soon.

With Warm Regards

This most likely will heal and retract.  If it were to actually to heal this way, you you need a minor office based procedure to correct this.  Facelifts are not like eyelid surgery.  There is a lot of territory that has to heal.  It is not unusual to need to have something modified or tweaked during the healing processes.
