I'm a plastic surgical nurse practitioner. Worked in surgery with the plastic surgeon for many, many years. A face lift is not a difficult surgery and recovery is fairly easy. A neck lift is more complicated and recovery is a bit more involved. Both surgeries can have beautiful results in the proper surgeons hands. You must do your due dillagence in looking for the right doctor. If you are in good health, you should have no problem recovering. If you are a diabetic or smoke = that can cause more risk. I would never schedule a patient for a face lift if they smoked. A face lift is a very good option for the person who wants to look as young as they feel!
