2.5 months post op Facelift, my ear lobe is still enlarged. Is this normal?

September 28, 2014
Asked By:MonaCat in Flagstaff, AZ

I am 2.5 months out from a full face lift. One of my ear lobes is enlarged still. My doctors says it should go back to its normal size eventually. If it does not, is there a treatment for shrinkage ? I can't wear earrings because it calls attention to the different sizes. Thanking you in advance for your advice.
