I had deep plane facelift 3weeks ago. To me I feel I heal rather well （swelling completely if not 90% subsided in my eyes) temple incision light pink and ear almost invisible now).

My question is will hard chewing, laughing hard etc compromise and lax the muscles tightened during the surgery? Thanks!!
