Thanks to all the doctors that have answered my questions in the past. My ear is having very strange feeling two years post op face and neck lift . It feels half asleep and I cannot put the phone to it and hear properly. When drying my hair it just has funny feelings. I can feel hot and cold on the entire ear and pin pricks but it feels horrible and pulling .. it does not feel normal like the other ear. Is it the GAN or a suture that is wrapped around it? I am afraid to undergo any more surgery.
