This discussion is related to lower facelift problems.

I don't believe mine and possibly your tinnitus will ever resolve.  I've done a lot of research on this matter.  It seems that the trigeminal (sensory) nerve system shares the same pathway to the brain as the auditory nerve.  The severing and compromising of the nerves in the facelift continually "work" and amplify the auditory channel at which time the brain perceives is a problem and continually communicates in the noise your hear.  Go to kevinhogan.com/tinnitus and you'll find this helpful.  Xanax will put you on a good path.  If we could have only known everything that went with this operation, we both would have passed on it.  Forget ENT's, they don't know didly and will try and get you to get an MRI for possible auditory nerve tumor.  Good luck!
