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 after neck lift = it could last more than 5 weeks #necklift Tightness after a neck lift could last from few days/ weeks up to several months. Some patients may feel it is too tight, however, as long as they can breath normally, and they can drink and eat food normally, the tightness is ok. That subside at some point.The reason for the "tightness" is because the neck has been loose for so many years than once it gets rejuvenated, it feels tight de novo

Answer: Tightness In Neck After Neck Lift Tightness following a #facelift, neck lift or chin implant are not uncommon. As the nerves regenerate, the itching, burning, tingling and shooting #sensations will occur. Ice, moisturizers and gentle #massaging are helpful during this phase of the #healing process. Frequently there is a tight feeling in the neck, jawline and cheek post-op. During surgery, not only the skin but the underlying muscles are tightened to create a better and longer lasting result which may cause the sensations you may be experiencing. Furthermore, the #swelling will move downward in the first week and the neck will feel even tighter. Do not be alarmed. This will decrease during the first month. Wearing a #compression garment may be suggested the first week and then nightly for up to six weeks. Local #massage of the areas may accelerate the resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely.Some degree of firmness or lumpiness under the skin is normal after surgery and will resolve with time. Local #massage of the areas may accelerate the resolution of this problem, which normally takes 2-4 months to disappear completely.

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.
