6 weeks ago I had a lower face lift. The area behind my ears is pleated and deformed. (photos)

Asked By:sekoni in Maryland, NY

Will this resolve in time? The doctor who did my lift told me to massage and pinch the affected areas until sore several times a day. He said "It may take some time, but these areas will clear up." Is that statement true? I'm very embarrassed. At a recent outdoor event (light breeze) several people noticed and commented on it, wondering what happened to me. Needless to say swimming, bike riding, horseback riding and running are out of the question at this point. I actually left the party.
