Carotid artery: Can a facelift or necklift cause a blockage of the carotid artery?

A facelift or neck lift does not involve any exposure to the carotid artery during surgery.  The carotid artery lies deep in the neck  A facelift/ neck lift involves the more superficial planes of the neck and thus can not cause blockage.

A facelift or necklift would not cause carotid artery stenosis and is completely unrelated. Dietary and hereditary factors play a major role in carotid artery disease.RegardsDr Guy Watts

A facelift /neck lift can not or does not cause blockage of the carotid arteries.  Carotid artery disease is cause by complex causes involving diet, family history and personal medical history.

No a neck or face lift on its own can not cause a carotid artery blockage.  The surgeries are more superficial than the carotid arteries which are deeper.

Disease of the carotid artery has a multifactorial basis which includes genetics and diet. Cosmetic Surgical procedures of the neck do not impact the disease process in the carotid.
