Asked By:glizzie in New Berlin, WI

I had a facelift over 2 years ago. I have numbness in my face, forehead and neck. I have seen a neurologist but he says it is what it is. My problem is that it seems to be spreading. My ears are starting to feel numb and my forehead and scalp are also. I am concerned. If I make another appointment with the neurologist, what can he do for me. Should I get some kind of testing.
