"Pulling Sensation" and Numbness After Mini-lift?

beann
I had a mini-lift done 3 months ago. Just where the bottom of my earlobes connect to the sides of my face, I feel a "pulling sensation". As it doesn't hurt, I find it annoying. Is this normal and will it go away? Also, when I touch the skin on my face right in front of my ear-hole, I can't feel it. Is this normal after 3 months, or do I have nerve damage?
