What are the complications and side effects of a neck lift?
Cleveland Clinic answered:
You will have swelling and bruising that can last for several days. You may feel tightness or tingling and different sensations including burning or pulling. You also will experience areas numbness on the skin. These are all very normal in the first few weeks following surgery and should not be cause for concern.
As with any surgery, you run the risk of infection. Please keep a watchful eye on your temperature. At the first sign of a fever, contact your doctor. If you have unusual discharge, such as pus, from the incision site, contact your doctor immediately.
Although it's very rare, you could have an allergic reaction to medications given during or after your surgery. That's why it's very important to disclose any drug allergies to your doctor in a pre-operative consultation.

Common side effects and complications from a neck lift similar to any surgery include bleeding and infection. Both are less than 1% incidence from board certified plastic surgeons throughout surveys in the United States. Other complications include seroma, skin necrosis, recurrent skin laxity, scar contracture, and DVT and pulmonary embolus.
