5 weeks after facelift my ears look bigger, sticking out and I feel as the are not part of my head. I move I feel them and they are not flexible as used to be. They feel as I have two wooden ears attached to my head. My doctor says I can't sleep on them yet and it will takes 18 months to fully recover? What is wrong?

Answer: Facelift Thank you for your question. It is typical for patients to sleep with your head elevated for two weeks after the procedure, but you should follow your surgeon's recommendation. You are in the very early stages of the recovery and should not judge your results for months. I suggest that you continue to follow the recovery instructions provided by your board certified facial plastic surgeon. Remain patient and rest assured that your experience is not atypical.Best wishes,
