Pulling and feeling of fullness in ear canal, 6 months post facelift. What could this be? (photos)

I am a 44yr old woman who had a lower face and neck lift surgery 6 months ago. Straight after surgery my right ear felt as though it was being pulled from the top of the ear which I commented on at the time. I understand healing takes time, however my ear is still quite uncomfortable with a feeling of my ear being pulled down and forward and my inner ear feels swollen. If I turn my head to the left, I also have a tugging from the corner of my mouth across my jaw line and a raised ?tendon?
