How much do facelifts 'relax' after surgery?

March 8, 2017
Asked By:Macavity1

I understand that after a facelift everything 'relaxes' a little but five months after my facelift, my face is still 'relaxing' and I am upset that although my face was more of an oval shape post-surgery it is now returning to more fullness at the bottom. Is this normal? I am concerned that it will keep on losing its nice post-surgery shape and that there will be little longevity in my facelift.
