I had a standard rhytidectomy, including the tightening of the underlying fascia and muscle and upper blepharoplasty 4.5 months ago. The board certified PS also injected some fat from my neck into the face. I have been experiencing a sensation of coldness (not to the touch of others, though), increased stinging throughout my cheeks, and a tight rubber band-like feeling under my chin and around the ears. Recently, I developed ringing in my ears and it feels like there is a stick in one. Please advise.

Answer: Stinging post procedure Stinging, tingling, and other odd sensations can occur after any surgical procedure particularly around an incision site. When nerves regenerate, paresthesias or abnormal nerve sensation can occur. This can take up to a year or longer to fully resolve. Best Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Is increased stinging and cold sensation throughout face normal after a facelift? #facelift #deepplanefacelift Thank you for your question. Congratulations on having a facelift and upper blepharoplasty. I'm sorry that you are having these symptoms after your procedures. After a facelift, it is not uncommon to have different sensations and numbness in the skin of the face and neck. In addition, it is not uncommon to have numbness in the ears, as well. This numbness is almost always temporary, but can take up to 6 months to fully resolve in some cases. Be sure to discuss your symptoms with your surgeon, but this numbness should resolve with time. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
