When should I be able to stop massaging under jawline and neck area after a necklift /platysmaplasty ?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

The specific timeline for stopping massages after a neck lift or platysmaplasty can vary based on your surgeon’s recommendations. Typically, you’ll be advised to perform gentle massages in the under jawline and neck area for a few weeks to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Follow your surgeon’s instructions closely, as they will provide the most accurate guidance for your individual case. Generally, you should see a significant reduction in swelling within a few weeks, but complete recovery may take several months.
