A few months ago I had a SMAS plication face lift. After surgery I noticed that my ears were pushed forward. Mainly the tips of my ears. I now feel that I need ear pinning surgery. I discussed my concern with the surgeon who laughed it off saying my ears look normal and I don’t need ear pinning surgery. I presume the behind ear stitches pushed the ear tips forward. Is this a normal complication of a FL and how can this be fixed? I haven’t seen any reviews about this issue.
