Tightness in neck & ears after facelift 6 months ago - is this normal?

alenka1949
6 months ago, I had a Full Facelift, Dual Plane Brow Lift, Lower Lid Blepharoplasty, neck plication with liposuction and CO 2 laser skin resurfacing peel. Also, my earlobes were modified and attached to my cheek bones area. I look great and very natural. However, I still have a lot of tightness in my neck and ears. My face and neck get red, hot and tacky. Is it normal? What can I do to speed up the recovery? Thank you very much
