I had a Facelift three weeks ago, one side is more lax than the other. Will a lax place on my face tighten after a face lift?

Asked By:littletreesprite in Los Angeles, CA

is it normal that one side would tighten up prior to the other side? The side that looks better and more shaped is hard, but the side that looks lax is soft, and has been since the surgery. It looks like it didn't get tightened around my mouth. Also I had a mole on my cheek that didn't move on the soft side, if skin was removed, shouldn't the mole have moved? Will it tighten up on that side and become more contoured as well? or am I just stuck with a face that didn't get all the way done?
