Surgery after carotid surgery
I ahve a little bit different element to address in your question then some of my peers. Of course, it is important that you underlying vascular disease has hopefully improved and that you have medical clearance for surgery. I think another important concern is the position of the scar and the resultant change in local blood supply. When you have multiple incisions in a small area, the skin between these incisions may become compromised. Waiting some time, like...

Neck lift after a carotid endarterectomy
Once your carotid arteries are cleaned out of their plaques, you are placed on blood thinners usually and these must be stopped prior to a neck lift. If you had such "hardening of the arteries", atherosclerosis, in your carotid arteries, then you may have similar disease in other vessels and you may have cardiac risk factors that would preclude the use of epinephrine (adrenaline) in the local anesthetic that is used for the neck lift. You would need medical clearance by your...

Facelift after enarterectomy surgery.

Neck lift following Carotid surgery.
Thanks for your question. In terms of being able to perform a neck lift after a scar from a carotid endarterectomy has been made, the answer is yes, it is possible. The bigger question is making sure you are healthy enough to have a general anesthesia. Make sure that you are given clearence by your cardiologist and vascular surgeon prior to going forward with an elective neck lift procedure.

Is a neck lift possible after endarterectomy?
Yes as long as you are cleared by your vascular surgeon and internist as healthy enough to undergo the general anesthesia and the 3 hour operation, you should be able to have the neck lift. The good news is that today there are minimal incision variations that can be a good option as well.

Yes, you should still be able to undergo neck lift
After carotid endareterectomy the important considerations would relate to your general medical condition and fitness for cosmetic surgery that should be determined by your internist in consultation with your vascular surgeon or interventional radiologist, whomever performed your endarterectomy.
Once you have fully recovered and are "cleared" to proceed, and assuming you would benefit by a neck lift, the plastic surgeon will...
