Hi I had a MACS facelift 2 days ago. I know it's very early days but is it normal to look this " pulled" initially. I asked my surgeon if it will settle into a more natural look when the swelling subsides. He said it is a natural look already. Please can someone tell me if i am supposed to look like this at first?
