Why Are my Ears So Itchy After Facelift?

  It is likely that this means only that your nerves are regenerating normally after your recent surgery.  of course, it is always best to check with your doctor to make sjure that you are healing normally.

       Itching after facelift usually indicates nerve regeneration or healing, but you should always follow up with your surgeon who knows you best and has the benefit of an exam.                                                                                                                             Kenneth Hughes, MD                                                                                                                                       Los Angeles, CA

Typically as the sensory nerves regenerate in a particular area, pruritus which is the medical term for itching occurs. This is a normal response and can take up to a year to resolve. That being said sometimes dry skin can also be the cause and a moisturizer may help.
