Neck wrinkled after neck lift. I'm 48, 5'2 & 110lbs. I'm in good health. Will the wrinkles resolve? Why are they worse? (Photos)

I had a NL 3 weeks ago, I know it is still early on in recovery. My neck has more wrinkles than before in the middle and under the chin near the throat. It is crepey and loose. My neck looks 60 instead of 48. I was hoping that it would be tight and refreshed, but it is not. I am still quite swollen under the chin. Is this wrinkling normal? Will it get better? will I have another surgery? I did not have a FL, no incisions behind the ears, only incision under chin. Platysma bands tightened.
