Most patients do not complain pain but tightness. Usually, the complain of being numb.
Everyone is different,but we did a study of 2 years and hundreds if necklifts.The average patient had little to no pain, took tylenol,1 percocet and 3 ketoloracs during the first 24 hrs and nothing afterwards.
Necklift should not be painful. There should be more a sense of tightness attributable to tightening the muscles.

Neck lifts have minimal pain after surgery. You will have some swelling and bruising after surgery but that resolves in 1-2 weeks. I tell my patients if they work from home they can resume they work as soon as the next day.
1 to 2 weeks of possible pain/discomfort, fully resolved by 6 weeks
