I had a mini lower FL & platysmaplasty 13 months ago (not a Lifestyle Lift - experienced board cert. ps) For the first 9 months I had extreme pain, pulling & tightness around both ears. That has pretty much resolved now but I still do have some residual discomfort around both ears (one worse than the other.) It's not constant; I'm reasonably comfortable about 50-60% of the time. Neither ear was ever numb. Do you think damage to the GAD may have been the cause of all the ear trouble? Thank you!
