Hearing problems after a facelift are usually due to blood in the ear or swelling. This usually goes away after several weeks.
Fortunately, there is no longterm effect on hearing after a facelift, despite the closeness of the incision to the external ear cartilages. Temporary hearing issues can result from blood that gets in the ear canal, or swelling in the area for the first few days, giving a "head cold" like effect.All the best,
