Second day post op face and necklift but the back of my neck is so sore. Is this normal from the procedure? It really hurts when I wake up from lying down

Answer: Facelift - A Pain in the Neck Its not uncommon for people to have some stiffness in the neck after a facelift. However, if it is only 2 days after surgery, I would call your surgeon to double check. You certainly want to ensure there is nothing that needs treatment at an early phase like this.

Answer: Face/Neck Lift You likely had some tightening of the platysma or neck muscle behind your ear and are feeling the sutures in this area. You should be careful not to turn your neck side to side too much during this early healing phase after surgery.
