Too Tight Neck Lift - Permanent? Revision?

Phoenix9239
I am interested in a neck lift but hear and read many people complaining after the surgery that they feel "strangled" and "extremely tight". I have heard some patients feel as though there is a rope around their throat and mobility of the head is limited due to a pulling sensation. This sounds very alarming and I wonder if this ever results in a permanent situation or if revision is warranted because it is too tight. What would the proper revision be?
