I'm shocked and embarrassed by the new earlobes I have after a facelift. They look very unnatural and Dr said it's an easy fix to trim them but I have been unable to get anymore information from him or his staff over the last few months. What does trimming involve? I'm very concerned my earlobes encroach too far onto my cheeks, are concave shaped and right earlobe is attached much lower than the left. Does "trimming" fix this?

Answer: natural looking earlobes after a facelift One study on facelift surgeries stated that the number one complication was earlobe complaints with regards to shape. It is certainly worth it to discuss with your surgeon revision of your earlobes although timing is also very important. Usually, one should wait 8 to 12 months prior to performing when the early scar tissue has subsided. Often it is a smaller procedure that can be performed under local anesthesia and should not take very long. Surgeons usually exert significant care during a facelift procedure to get the angle and shape of the ear lobe correct but there may be other factors in play in addition to the surgeon's attention to this. But a good honest discussion with your surgeon should be able to remedy this. If your surgeon advocates waiting time, he or she will explain to you the rationale for waiting.

Answer: Facelift I tend to agree with your surgeon that a secondary revision would be pretty straightforward. These are simple earlobes to correct compared to many I’ve seen.
