Dog Ear After 10 Weeks of Neck and Face Lift?

It is unusual to have a dog ear in this location.  It is unusually for the sub mental incision to be this big.  Generally dog ears do improve but by 10 weeks one expects to see much improvement to be evident.  Fixing the dog ear should be a minor, office based procedure.   Consider posting a photograph for a more specific answer.

10 weeks is still early for a scar revision.  I would attempt depending on how much consternation it is causing you.  Otherwise, I would wait 6 months.  In the meantime, massage with silicone gel cream.  If you do decide to revise, have your surgeon undermine the area that caused the dog ear.  Simply undermining will eliminate it without having to extend the scar an additional length. 

   Revision of the submental scar can be performed after about 6 months or so. The contours do tend to improve with time.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

  I would suggest continued treatment with steroid injections within the scar and topical scar treatment and more time.  I understand your hesitation to avoid dog ear excision given the already long length of the incision, and although it is hard to say based on just the photos you submitted, I agree with you.

There are always pros and cons of surgery and I would continue massaging for a number of months before considering this. All scar revisions lead to new scars and although improvements can be made the scar is always longer. Wide scars occur when there is usually tension on the wound - this is uncommon in this region unless skin has been removed. If no skin has been removed I would not be concerned about the scar being wider. You may need a little liposuction at the edges of the dog ears as well if you choose surgery in the long term.I would definitely massage over the coming months. As others have said tping the ends down can help and elastoplast tape with a silicone strip inside can help to soften the scar.
