Failed Necklift? Is it possible for the platysma muscle to snap back to its post operative position right after a necklift?

Jean6200
Is it possible for the platysma muscle to snap back to its post operative position right after a necklift. The skin on my neck and chin is loose and saggy 3 months after surgery. I have very wide stretched scars behind the ears in the area going up into the hairline. My neck is still very sore from behind the ear all the way down both sides of the neck.
