Ear after facelift - will you please look at this picture & let me know if a revision is easy? (Photos)

Question

Hi there, I am currently digging myself out of problems that I have from a deep plane facelift that I received 10 months ago. Will you please look at this picture and let me know if a revision is easy. I’ve posted my before and after ear pictures. It looks like my ear lobe placement and shape has been changed. Thank you

Dilip D. Madnani, MD, FACS · Answer

hi, thx for the picture, an ear lobe scar revision is a reasonable course of action. This is something that can easily happen after facelift surgery. You have tricky earlobes to begin with, based on the size and shape of them.  You have developed a small area of  scar tissue over the front of the earlobe, that can happen after your facelift as well, so this can be improved.

Michele A. Shermak, MD · Answer

Hello!
I would work intensively on scar management: massage, pressure, topical silicone treatments. It is not unusual that your earlobe changed a bit with surgery. If in about 3 months you are still not happy, you should talk to your plastic surgeon about what a revision would entail as well as likely outcomes. This will likely be done just under local anesthesia. 
Best of luck to you!

We can do revision face lift surgery if you have another problems , if the scar is your only problem we can do scar revision ,or leaser treatment

William Portuese, MD · Answer

Much more information is needed such as a full set of face and earlobe photographs from all angles, including both ears are going to be required to make a better determination about the proper procedure for you. A copy of the operative report would also be helpful as well as your preoperative photographs of your face from all angles.
