Ear revision 6 months after facelift - Can this be done under local anesthesia and what should I expect? (photos)

Helpful3761
I had a facelift six months ago and my ears don’t look right. The doctor said I need a revision to remove more skin next to the ear. He said it can be done under local anesthesia. Does this seem accurate? Should I return to the surgeon who did the original surgery? (Other results are good, but the ears are a mess). What should I expect in terms of recovery and scarring from the revision? Thank you!
