I had scar tissue removed from the upper portion of my ear two days ago. It still hurts often. Is this normal?

The surgery was outpatient, but I was completely anesthetized. I have a few stitches, and I have been given lortab for pain. I was hoping to not have to use the pain medication by today. Is it unusual for it to hurt two days later? The incision is less than one inch long!

It will take a few more days, take Tylenol. Do not touch it. Use is to numb the pain in that area.
