How soon after a face and neck lift can one safely use a shampoo bowl at the hair salon?

I am seeing a lot of answers about how soon people can get their hair colored with chemicals on incisions. But I am more worried about internal suture or scar tissue strain. Those shampoo bowls can be hard on the neck and there can be a lot of straining in weird directions...how soon till that level of pressure and pulling is safe after face/neck lift?
