Can a neck lift trigger orthostatic hypertension and tremors?
摘要
We report a 71-year-old woman who developed disabling orthostatic tremor and severe orthostatic hypertension following cosmetic neck lift surgery. Autonomic testing demonstrated exaggerated pressor responses and excessive orthostatic catecholamine release, consistent with sympathoadrenal overactivation due to impaired carotid baroreflex function. This case highlights a potential autonomic complication of aesthetic neck surgery.
