I recommend following up with your surgeon about their recommendations for helmets after your necklift. To improve final results, we will often do a kybella and ultherapy about 4-6 weeks after neck lift to get more of an outcome. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
It can take several weeks or longer for swelling to fully dissipate and up to six months for incision lines to mature. You might want to look into a good helmet strap that would give you a little more comfort. Most importantly, speak with your plastic surgeon so he or she can evaluate you and determine when you're ready to return to recreational motorcycle riding. Drive safely and good luck!
