My Ear Canals Feel Weird After Surgery, Will This Go Away?

March 12, 2012
Asked By:dgmlmax in Orlando, FL

One month after facelift/ neck lift surgery my ears are very uncomfortable. My right ear is worse the tragus (sp?) is tight sort of pushed in a bit. I have to open it to even get a q-tip in that ear canal. My inner ears feel like they are being tugged on. From my ear to my jaw line is very hard and tight, will that go away. I am not seeing the results of a defined jaw line that I wanted. Is it too soon? Also is it normal for my outer ears to feel numb and hurt when they touch a pillow?
