After surgery 1 yr ago, I had a hematoma on each cheek. Gone now. Doc said lines on left cheek are due to scar tissue that he will remove during revision surgery. Chin is very sore & redder than pre-surgery; it feels like a weight. Mouth is puckered. By end of day, it's difficult to enunciate. Have tugging sensation below ears & some tingling continues along jaw line up to ears. Also have Pixie Ears & Tragus is missing. Could facelift have been too tight? My doc says no. Advice is appreciated!
