After a necklift will I be in pain when I eat?

Question:
After a necklift will I be in pain when I eat? Will my neck be very sore and swollen?

Answer:
Following your necklift you will experience a sensation of neck tightness and your ability to swallow should not be affected in any significant manner. Although you can expect bruising of your neck and mild tenderness after necklift surgery, pain and swelling is generally not a significant problem.
