Is severe ear pain after a full face and neck lift common?

Thene
I had surgery 14 days ago l woke with deaf ears and inner pain in one ear. l have regained hearing in one ear. The ear pain l have in the deaf ear is excruciating I have seen a Dr who cannot see past a blockage of wax inside but has given me antibiotics in case of infection underneath that and drops to soften the wax. The ear is very swollen and l also have pain and burning sensation on the lobe. I have to revisit Dr in 2 weeks to revaluate. I’m worried there is some sort of damage
