Burning Feeling After Face/neck Lift?

That is terrific that you had a face lift. Overall, it appears that your postoperative course was uneventful and you got a great result.  When a face lift is performed, it is not uncommon to have some numbness in the cheek and neck area. As the nerve endings regenerate, they are occasionally irritable, resulting in burning, tingling, and itching. Almost always these sensations will subside with time. Sometimes anti-inflammatories may be helpful to get you through the rough times. 

   A burning feeling four months after facelift signals final regeneration of some of the cutaneous nerve endings responsible for sensation.  Over the course of the next few months, the sensations should become less and less.

Sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing. At four months, you are still healing, and your face is still going to be sensitive to various types of minor strains and exposure to heat. What I would recommend is to listen to your body, and not push yourself into anything that is uncomfortable. Be sure to wear sunscreen when outside. If something bothers you when you exercise, take a step back and go a little bit easier. This is something that should resolve itself over time, but until then, it is best to modify any activities that may aggravate the burning feeling. I would recommend speaking with your surgeon in the meantime, as he/she knows the extent of your surgery and will able to provide you with specific advice. I hope this helps, and good luck with your recovery!
