I had a mini-facelift/chin-lift just over a year ago. Since then I have had numbness, tightness, and a feeling of pressure by and just under my ears. Also, my ears become so itchy (on the outside) that if I begin to rub or scratch them, I cannot stop. I also have had what feels like pressure on my eustachian tubes. The surgeon who performed the lifts left did not cut in the folds of my ears and there are visual white lines and scarring. I found out too late that this Dr. isn't very reputable
