When can I turn my head after face and neck lift surgery?

July 21, 2015
Asked By:LifeIsSweet in Petaluma, CA

I'm seeing how much I take for granted my ability to turn my head. When will I be able to turn it safely without ripping apart at the seams? Until that point, do you think a swivel seat will suffice when I'm driving? Or should I avoid driving altogether until I can safely swivel my head? Thanks!
