What Can Be Done About Behind my Ears for Red Skin, Ridges and Scars, Please, Now I Am 7 Months Post Neck/facelift? (photo)

Spirenot
I have reddened skin, ridges & white scars behind my ears, a very tight scalp & sore tightness around ears. PS attached my lobes but they weren't before. Now I have little pixies & pockets behind which are sore & tight, & they will need a release. He says he did me extra tight for a good result but I think he may have pulled me too tight. The scars have now moved from behind my ear & widened so now I can't wear my hair back. I have still have some swelling & discomfort under chin. Thank you.
