I have a rope like scar on back of ear after neck lift. Is this normal? (photos)

Asked By:PreciousOne53 in Calgary, AB

I'm 12 days post-op after neck lift. Behind my one ear is not bad, but the other one has ropelike scars that I can't see going away on their own. Thank goodness I grew my hair out months before the surgery. My surgeon said not to bother growing my hair out but I'm so glad I did. This scar pretty much assures me that I won't be wearing really short hair again any time soon if ever. What are my options? Can a scar like this be removed by excision?
