What Is The Recovery Like From Webbed Neck Surgery?

Q: Dr. Eppley, How long the recovery will take from webbed neck surgery?

A:It depends on how one chooses to define recovery. What most patients define it by when can they resume most normal activities which should really be within 1 to 2 weeks. From an appearance standpoint one looks good from the beginning and there really isn’t any swelling or bruising to be seen from the front. Perhaps the most important part of the recovery, which for neck surgery should not be a surprise, is that the neck will feel a little sore and turning the head from side to side will be a little tighter for a while.
