Asked By:FloMarie in Orlando, FL

I haved a facelift and neck lift 4 months ago but i still feel my neck so tight is an horrible sensation and I went to see my sergeon but he insist that it take some time. My prosedure wasn't drastic it was practically a refreshness is that may be the reason? I am really sad I've try warm wraps, i massage myself too even those icy-hot patches please there is something else I can do and it really will go away. Thanks
