You should see your surgeon as soon as possible and may need to have your ear canal gently irrigated out to remove any clotted blood and trapped fluid.
During neck lift surgery, it is not uncommon for the surgeon to place a cotton ball in the ear canal. Despite this, blood can still get inside the canal and give you the "blocked" sensation. If it is significantly painful, though, you should see your surgeon. It is possible that you have an ear infection, but of more concern would be if you developed a hematoma / blood collection in front of the ear. This requires early surgical drainage. Please seek medical attention.
