Will outward pull on tragus subside and relax as swelling goes down or will it pull forward more as swelling subsides? (Photos)

ka6695
18 days post necklift. Incision along tragus edge.Last couple days feels like tragus is pulling outward.Holding phone up to ear is odd feeling as hitting tragus.Very uncomfortable.Area in front of tragus is puffy and looks large.Will the outward pull subside and relax tragus as swelling goes down or will it pull forward more as swelling subsides? Appears incision is moving more towards face. Looks like large triangle in front of ear. Feels like getting worse rather than better.
