Question:
I am having a neck lift and was wondering how soon afterward I would be able to eat or drink something.
Answer:
A liquid diet is best for the first day after surgery with beginning to take liquids slowly and progressing to soups or Jell-O. You can start with a light diet the day after that.
You may also have drains in place after surgery, so understand that it might cause difficulty chewing and/or swallowing.
