Facelift scars; how long does it take scars near ears to go away?

Everybody heals differently.  However, it typically takes a full 6-12 months for scars to mature (soften and lighten) although they will always be visible to some extent.  There are multiple silicone scar creams and/or tapes that can help to speed the process.  I suggest you ask your surgeon a brand they recommend. 

Thank you for your questions.  It will differ from patient to patient, some patients will take longer than others to heal.  Facelift scars tend to become less red and sore after 4 weeks, however I will allow 6 months for scars to completely heal and fade to skin colour.  To help improve scarring, I advice my patients to massage, breaking down any scar tissue.  If you have any concerns, please make a follow up appointment with your plastic surgeon to discuss.All the Best!!
