Ears look unnatural after facelift - can you explain why and can it be corrected? Is there a name for the disfigurement? (Photo)

Personally I don't think your earlobes look too much different but if there is something specifically to be altered this is easily done on the office with a bit of local anesthesia. I would however wait until healing is complete.

Thank you for your question and post. A pixy ear deformity is when the earlobes are stretched down due to excess tension on the ear from the facelift. You don't have that. I do see a very subtle difference. If you are unhappy, discuss with your surgeon. He/she may be able to release the earlobe and reset it a little lower.  This can be done under local in the office.I hope this helps.- Dr. Bryson Richards

Thank you for sending images-While it is hard to tell from the incisions a well done facelift, therecan be some visibility. Around the ear lobe is one of the more common sites.Although it has been seven months, you can expect some further improvement of the incisionlines in this area. That said, if at the one year point the area around the ear lobe continues to be unsatisfactory,discuss with your surgeon the possibility of a scar revision. This can improve the scar, change the amount of ear attachment as well as alter the direction (somewhat). Consult with your surgeon and let them know your concern-  there are options for improvement.
