I try not to make a big deal about this. I know some surgeons say don't look down for two weeks and only eat soft food. If a movement feels tight don't do it, simple as that
After a face lift, you should be able to do range of motion type of movement on your neck, starting the next day. Actually, I strongly recommend my patients do that because if they keep the neck in a certain position, they may develop some scar bands, which may interfere with the result. For that reason, starting range of motion exercising the next day after surgery is a good idea.
Thanks for the question. After 1-2 days your surgery area will healed and you can move your head up and down. I wish you all the best.
When recovering from a facelift, you will want to be mindful of the following things to ensure your healing progresses smoothly: 1) Sleep with your head elevated 2) Avoid bending with your head below the waist 3) Avoid strenuous activity during the initial healing period How long has it been since your surgery? Moving your head up and down should be doable right after surgery, as long as you are gentle and don't move too abruptly. You may feel some tightness, and the best thing is to listen to your body and avoid anything that causes discomfort. I would recommend following up with your surgeon, as they may have specific guidelines they would like you to follow. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your recovery.
I have no problem with full motility of the neck after a facelift. Nevertheless you should solicit the instructions from your own surgeon.
