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.

Answer: Tightness in neck postoperatively Just remember the tightness you had in your neck when in a few months and you are wondering whether he could have made it tighter!Ask your surgeon for exercises to help the tightness.

Answer: Neck tightness after neck lift Although 5 weeks seems like a long time, neck tightness at this point is not abnormal. It takes time for the skin and tissues under the skin to settle after surgery. The tightness you feel goes along with a firmness to the touch as well as a usual numbness. There can also be irregularities to the touch though not visible. All this is part of the healing process and although can sometimes be inconvenient or even uncomfortable, will settle with time. Unfortunately, patience is the only thing that will help at this point.
