Does numbness and a rubbery-ear feeling 18 months after a Facelift indicate nerve damage?

Asked By:marjayrey in Rochester, NY

I had a face lift about 18 months ago. On one side, there still seems to be some numbness along the outside of my face, my ear still feels a little rubbery, and afeeling of "puffiness", although I have no issue with muscle movement and my appearance look completely normal. Is this an indicator of nerve damage? Could it eventually get better, or is this how it will be from now on?
