Why Are my Ears So Itchy After Facelift?

It takes time for recovery.  As the nerve regrow, the sensation recovers.  The sensation can be that of an itchiness or sometimes pins and needles.  Generally these sensations resolve.

If you mean the area of the incisions, this is a common symptom after the lift as the skin flaps undergo sensory reinnervation.  If your symptoms itchiness are in the ear itself, it could be related to contact dermatitis from the garments used postop.  If you are having numbness coupled with paresthesias (feeling of ants crawling), it may be related to dennervation secondary to greater auricular nerve or superficial temporal nerve injury.  This may take more time to resolve.
