Tightness in scalp and face/neck 12 month after facelift. What can I do?

migisiy
12 months after brow, face and neck lift, my scalp, sides of face and neck, is so tight a frozen feeling as if it is contracted under the skin, it feels worse as time goes by. My facial skin is not tight. Sometimes a heat sensation around bottom of ears of neck. I feel lightheaded and disorientated inside my head with these tight sensations that I try to cope with constantly. After 12 months I am at wits end and are very concerned, please, any feed back will be so greatly appreciated
