Neck lift / Face Lift swelling - where does it go?

January 31, 2015
Asked By:imagingboomer in Louisville, KY

This may be odd but most reviews I have read indicate the reason to keep head elevated is so swelling will move downward but isn't that stretching the neck skin causing it to lose that nice tightness everyone is seeing? Why not sleep laying down so the swelling goes away from face/neck Thank you
