Can you have a face and neck lift after having a cervical fusion on c4/5?

As long as it's OK with your spine surgeon, you can certainly undergo facelift surgery after cervical fusion. We have done this many times and it simply takes a little more planning with anesthesia and a little more work by the surgeon. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

Yes, you can have a facelift after your cervical spinal surgery.  Your facial plastic surgeon and spinal surgeon need to discuss your condition and clearance for your facelift surgery.  I routinely perform my facelifts using local anesthesia and twilight sedation, and have done at least 100 patients with cervical fusions.   This allow patient to communicate with me if there are neck discomfort during rotation or extension. Ask your surgeon if your surgery can be performed with local anesthesia and twilight sedation. 

Thank you for your question. I do not see this as a reason not to have a face + neck lift. As long as you have been medically cleared and your remaining neck movements do not impair the surgical access or airway access for anaesthesia there should be no problems.RegardsDr Guy Watts
