I had a facelift 8 months ago. Aside from not having positive results, I am in pain on the right side of my face. I feel lots of pulling and tightness as well as hearing loss in my right ear and blurry vision in my right eye. My surgeon refuses to do anything about it, infect he has been avoiding me when I go to his office for an appointment. Please help. What can thi be and what should my next step be?
