Three days after lower facelift and skin 'loose' and 'jiggly'.

Asked By:babylt27 in Briarcliff Manor, NY

I just had lower facelift three days ago and things are going well with incisions and healing, I am still a bit puffy and swollen. I took the face wrap off today and am really starting to worry that my surgeon did not remove enough skin. The skin along my cheeks feels a little bit lax and 'jiggly'. Almost the same as it did before surgery. Will this only get worse as my swelling goes down? Or is it too soon and is this a normal phase of healing and will the skin tighten? I am 36.
