When is it really safe to start weight training again after a face and neck lift?

eatsleepmove
I had a facelift 4 weeks ago. My doctor says it's OK to workout 2 weeks post op. I've had many surgeries due to an accident I was in a few years ago & was surprised as most will actually say Months! I'm concerned after having a neck lift and particularly the platysma bands tightened that training will damage or effect the results. I also get bad head aches from the tightened muscles up around the jaw up the head and wonder if training will tighten these and exasperate things.
