Pain and Pressure on Tragus After Mini Lift

hunna123
7 weeks post op mini facelift. the ps made my incision behind my tragus (flap of skin in front of ear canal), which is completely healed. i have experienced great tension and pressure in this area from the first day of recovery. my tragus feel as if they are being pulled forward and will explode. it creates internal swelling and impairs my hearing. will this subside as my skin stretches? it is making me crazy. my ps suggested i see a neurologist and/or an eye, nose and throat dr. my gp gave me nerve pain meds. please help me with your expertise.
