I actually asked my surgeon if he had removed my ears...He laughed, and I said "no, I am serious, did you" He said it just seems like it and yes it does! I traveled back home after two weeks and when I returned home and my daughter saw my ears, she had to look away, by that time I was thinking they were looking pretty normal, but I guess not. Having long hair helped hid the scaring, but I was not able to wear a normal height ponytail for almost a year since you could see the incisions in my hairline in the back of my head for quite awhile. I would have to say I waited about a whole year before the scar was completely gone and I was comfortable wearing my hair up. The ears seem to heal pretty fast, it was the back of the head scaring that caused me to wait, I am not sure if you had the neck lift, that's where the incisions in the back of the head happened...
