8 months post op and still experiencing temple and jaw pain - Could suspension sutures be causing this?

am1111
I had a macslift almost 8 months ago, immediately after surgery I had jaw pain and couldn’t open mouth for a week, whenever I would chew my masseter throbbed. Also I had pressure headaches in my temporal area and temporal scalp pain on the same side as my jaw tightness/ pain. Could the suspension sutures be causing this? Are they too tight or in the wrong position? Will this go away or how can it be fixed?
