19 days after long incision facelift and I see the same sag. I'm assuming it's going to stay this way? (Photo)

Asked By:100yrs2liv in Asbury Park, NJ

I had a full face and neck lift 19 days ago. Incisions are from the top of my ears and near my temples in the hairline vertically and ones in front of my ears into my hairline horizontally. I was adamant I wanted dramatic results. My cheeks and neck are still swollen, yet I can see the same type of sagging issues. When swelling goes down there is even more sagging. The last photo was just before surgery. Why is it still like this? I had a spot on my cheek that didn't move backwards toward my ear very far.
