Almost two weeks out from lower face/neck lift... Oh, my poor ears!

Good news- results are great!  Look like I've been beaten the S@^(*T outta me..., but the bruising has stopped blossoming   and am subsiding...., but, oh, the poor ears... Yah, I know, they take the brunt of the surgery...any takes on how long before they feel even somewhat normal?  Some pics in profile...

at 6 months out,mine are just beginning to feel normal and not be painful if I accidently rub,scratch or mash there.

Poop!  No, really?  When were you feel comfortable putting your hair up? 

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...

Almost immediately... my scars are very well hidden.

Y'all are making me want to cry. My lift is tomorrow. My poor ears!  I'm gonna be rubbing on them all night. 

oh make no. MistKe,the short time they are compromised is totally worth the end result. I love my wattle being gone!

Me, too, and my St. Bernard face!

GOOD LUCK!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!!

A few weeks if I recall correctly. 

I had the snot beat out of me, too. I looked inhuman for at least a month. I am thrilled with my results.
