I had a parotidectomy. I see that face lifts should be considered with caution. What about a neck lift?

juju58
I had a parotidectomy (benign) 18 years ago. I am considering a neck lift for sagging skin on my neck as well as liposuction. The procedure that the surgeon is considering would pull the skin back, remove excess skin, and suture behind the hair line. Also, removal of excess fat at the top of my neck via liposuction. I am not considering a face lift. Is there a risk to the facial nerves with these procedures?
