Pinching pain behind ear after facelift?

emmasmudge
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.
