Have a question about Deep Plane Facelift?

Post-Facelift - can extra skin behind earlobes be fixed, and is fat transfer to eye area an option? (Photos)

Hi doctors, I had a deep plane facelift with fat transfer 10 months ago, and I have three concerns Id love professional opinions on. Ive attached photos to illustrate them. 1. Extra Skin Behind My Earlobes Since the surgery, Ive noticed that the skin behind both ears appears weird. Part of the skin seems attached to the earlobe, while another part is connected to the surrounding skin, creating a fold or step-off effect. Ive never heard of this happening beforeis this normal? Also, can it be fixed? 2. Lack of Fat Transfer in My Eye Area My surgeon did perform fat transfer, but in my view, it wasnt enough in the lower eyelid. When I brought this up, he responded that adding more fat wouldnt look good. However, when I was still swollen, my eyes appeared much betterfuller and more refreshed. Is it accurate that additional fat transfer to this area generally doesnt look good? I feel like some volume there would have improved my results rather than harmed them. Would fat transfer still be an option at this point? 3. Theres a noticeable gap or separation between the hairline and the area behind my earan unnaturally smooth patch of bare neck skin that extends farther up. Is this normal with deep plane facelifts? Id appreciate any insights into whether these are common post-op experiences or if they might require intervention. Thank you in advance for your time and expertise!
