#Facelift: tightness of the neck after surgeryThis will feel tight when the skin and muscle are pulled. The dressing , if used, also may feel tight.Your surgeon can be more conservative.  post op anti anxiety medication may be helpful

Make sure to share your concerns with both your surgeon and anesthesiologist. It sounds as if your throat tightening is related to anxiety so treating the later with some type of medication may be the solution, but your surgeon will be the best person to decide the right course of action.

Yes, I believe that you might feel panicked if you do't figure out a way to deal with the tightness beforehand. Maybe hypnosis would help. Of course speaking to a therapist might be best.
