What is most visible on these photos is your scar behind the ears. It takes an average 1 y for scar of this nature to mature and settle. Once scar is stable, a surgeon  should consider scar revision in order to place portion of scar into your hair and avoid straight. In the meantime, injection of corticosteroids like Kenalog, may help to soften current scars. Same applies for other scars, tightness and pain. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Based on the posted photos everything appears normally healing. This type of surgery facelift pain rarely occurs. I offer specific injections to areas of face & neck using special electrolytes and long lasting local anesthesia. Fee per sessions $500. Last weeks to months.
