Extreme pain behind my left ear lobe after facelift

Hi Etahbaz,Thank you for sharing your question with us,Sorry to hear you are in pain after your facelift, hopefully you have been for your follow up post -op, and have had a chance to speak to your Surgeon, with regards to pain. and progress.Discomfort and sensation of pressure, especially over and behind the ears, is quite usual. especially after disturbing the scar tissue around the area.  You will just need time to heal.Check with your surgeon to find the best way to manage the discomfort.All the best

Hello, hopefully this has been taken care of already. Sometimes a suture can be tight and pull on local structures. With time this should subside. Occasionally, once healed, steroid injections may help. You should keep in contact with your surgeon. If communication has broken down, then seek the advice of a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon near you.Sincerely,Dr. K

Sorry to hear about your concern. Your surgeon 
is the best one to judge what is causing the pain. 
Often pain can be related to sutures pulling on the 
postauricular tissue areas. These sutures are needed
to keep the neck lift part of the operation up while it heals.
They are mostly absorbable sutures so in the majority of 
cases the pain dissipates without further intervention. 
Discuss your concerns with your doctor and continue to 
follow his recommendations. Best wishes.
