I spoke w my surgeon and he has said there is nothing more he can do. My left ear lob is still numb 14 months after my neck lift. Right behind my left ear lobe is a pea sized bump that is painful to touch. My surgeon injected it with a steroid but that has only made it grow larger. I have numbness under my chin and pain. What can be done to resolve the numbness and the pea sized painful bump?
