Asked By:peaceheart in Corpus Christi, TX

I had a short scar face lift 5 days ago. I was under the impression that with this type of FL, the incision would be only at the front of the ear lobe. In actuality, mine has continued around and up the back of the ear? Also, the skin from the chin up towards the ears looks as though it has been pulled WAY too tight. I still have some swelling and a small amount of pain. Is this normal for having the FL on Thursday morning and today being Monday morning? Please help. I can not stop crying.
