looks to unnatural and screams face lift, skin seems to be overlapping ear lobe and tragus has no curve, can a revision be done if so how long should I wait I going to have to wear a hat permanently because of it.
Answer: Unnatural tragus following facelift
The male facelift is an extremely challenging procedure which is different then a female variant. During the procedure, meticulous attention must be paid to placement of the incision ( I always use retrotragal or behind tragus instead of preauricular which is in front) and closure of the incision. The tragus is well defined in most people because the skin overlying it is thin. If the facelift flap is not defatted properly the tragus will look thick. Also, if it is too tight in the tragal area the tragus can pull forward. At only 4 weeks there still is edema (swelling) so I would wait it out as well as scar formation. If after 4-6 months the same issue persists you would be ready for a revision. I would follow up closely with your surgeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Final Tragal Result takes time Four weeks is way too soon to access your final results especially concerning the tragus. I often tell my patients to expect about 75% of their final results around 12 weeks and the final result closer to a year.

Answer: Ear deformity after a male facelift Ear deformity after a male faceliftMale Facelift requires specific surgical maneuvers to avoid any tell tale sign of a facelift. One of the more obvious signs of a facelift is funny looking ear, and obvious scars in front of an ear. It takes skills, experience and talent to perform a facelift with significant result and yet quite natural. In your particular case you will require revision to correct the clear signs of a facelift. you will have to wait at least 6 month before this procedure can be undertaken. Make sure you seek out a surgeon that has experience doing revision surgery on male facelift, as a simple scar revision will not correct your deformity.

Answer: Unnatural facelift scar.
Give it some time to heal to allow the skin on the tragus to thin. Once healed the skin can be thinned and set in more deeply to simulate the natural crease that forms in front of the tragus. Facelift incission placement in front of the tragus avoids this problem.

Answer: 4 Weeks after SMAS Facelift Tragus and Earlobe Concerns
At 4 weeks after facelift, the tragus blunting may just be the result of swelling. The skin will relax as well and will affect both of these structures. I would wait at least 6 months before considering a revision. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
