Should you feel tightness in your neck and sides of face for a long time after a face lift.  Mine has been a year.

Rare cases of persistent discomfort occur related to a condition know as sympathetic reflex dystrophy.  In most patients, symptoms disappear over time.

While not very common, I have seen a few patients with persistent symptoms of neck and cheek tightness at one year.
