Tightness in neck after necklift

February 27, 2017
Asked By:Maries46 in Happy Valley, OR

I am almost 5 weeks post-surgery and still have a noose-like tightness around my neck. Some who have had it said that it is a good sign that it will last longer... "Tight is good." But, how much longer do I expect to feel this tightness. It sometimes makes me panic like I'm being choked. Here's a pic after three weeks. But, it is still tight at almost 5 weeks.
