Nerve damage 13 months post deep plane lower facelift - advice?

It could be either scar tissue or injury to a sensory nerve in the area. You need to be examined by a new surgeon to see if there is something that can be done

dear plato's spirit,
i have extensive experience with deep plane surgery and nerve injuriesif what you're feeling is very general than that has to subside gradually with time(example %0 feeling immediately postop, %30 around 3rd month % 60 around 1st year)but what i read from your text is you mention especially lower ears and sides of your jawwhich makes me suspicious about a greater auricular nerve injury which exactly is the exactly sensory nerve of this region
during facelifts and necklift this nerve damage is most commonly seen and it does not have to be necessarily cut but retractile forces during the
i would advise second opinion or physical examinationto sum up i was happy to read you did not have any mimic dysfunction since facial nerve damage is the most serious nerve damage seen after deep plane facelifts,take care, good luck with healing, doctor be+ clinic
