2 weeks after a mini facelift and neck lift is it okay to have an earache? and some weird shaped swelling and bruising on the same side? Other than that everything else I think is fine. My one side though seems swollen and my ear aches. Just curious how long this might last and if there is anything I can be doing?

Answer: Earache after a facelift should be checked out.
I personally don't think it's a good idea to massage entry postoperative wound healing with massage or ultrasound. Nevertheless, over time all of this should subside.
There seems to be a lot of questions on this website about tightness even years after facelift. I really have not seen this in my own patients and wonder what might be going on. Do you have any foreign material in your face as part of your previous facelift?
Having a spinal fusion procedure does not preclude you from having facial cosmetic surgery. I would make sure that the surgical team is aware of your surgical history and take the appropriate steps to keep you as comfortable as possible. You may also have soreness and stiffness after surgery.
