Are there any restrictions on driving after getting a neck lift?

Question:

Are there any restrictions on driving after getting a neck lift? I know I will not be able to drive myself home after my surgery but will I be able to drive the car that day or the next day?

Answer:

As each recovery differs for each patient, Dr. Epstein would be better able to tell you what is individually appropriate for you after the procedure. In general, though, it is advised that most patients avoid driving for at least the first couple of days after the procedure and should not drive themselves home after a procedure, mostly due to recovery from anesthesia.
