Intense Puckering behind one ear after face lift. Redness and pain in ear.

February 10, 2015
Asked By:peaceheart in Corpus Christi, TX

I am 5 days post operative after a facelift. All of my pain had subsided until tonight. My incision line goes into my ear and suddenly a point on my incision felt really sore . When I looked, it was quite red inflamed. Is it possible that I have the start of a infection and what can I do tonight until the office opens up in the am. On a side note: I had a considerably amount of skin puckering behind the same ear. Is this going to permanent? Thank you ever so much for your help.
