Does subcision for facial acne scarring cause skin sagging 5+ years down the line?

someguy2015
The fibrous tissue that attaches an acne scar to the skin is part of the body's natural healing process, I assume. I'm wondering if breaking this down could have an affect on how a person's skin ages or changes over time? Does the skin become thicker looking when new collagen is formed, but saggier over time? What is typically seen in these patients 5+ years down the line both good and bad?
