Today is one week post lower facelift/neck lift. Had my stitches and staples out yesterday. PS said everythjng looks really good. I'm having pinching pain behind right ear after the removal of stitches. Left ear feels fine. The pinching is worse when I try to lay back. I go back in 6 days. I did call and was told this is very normal. I am very pleased with my results otherwise.

Answer: Post Op Pinching after facelift Facial rejuvenation to remove excess skin and sometimes fat from the face can often utilizes incisions in front of the sideburns and then along the front aspect of the year and then wrapping up behind the ear. Frequently the most significant amount of tissue redraping is in the contour area behind the ear. This may result in a pulling sensation in the area behind the ear. Certainly evaluation to ensure that the wounds are healing well is important . However once evaluation has been performed and postoperative recovery appears to be progressing as expected. The resultant discomfort can be improved upon with certain headrest pillows for the postoperative period. As well as muscle relaxers. Continued follow up with your surgeon is important as is following all the instructions for postoperative care.

Answer: Pinching pain 1 week after facelift Healing after a facelift takes time. As you heal, you may experience a variety of sensations along and around the incisions, from numbness, tingling, electrical shocks, sharp pain. These are called “paresthesias”. This may occur for weeks, sometimes months, but do get better with time. Of course follow up with your PS. Good luck!
