Answer: Numbness in my ear after a facelift Traction on the great auricular nerve during surgery can cause temporary loss of sensation in the lower portion of the ear after a facelift. Sensation typically returns however it can take 6-12 months and the full sensation may not return.

Answer: 3-6 months I inform my patients before facelifts that they will likely have ear and even some cheek numbness for 3-6 months, sometime longer, after surgery. So don't worry, while it's annoying, it is going to get better.
