Will Skin Under Eyelids Tighten As Lower Blepharoplasty Heals?

foliofan
I'm a 51-year old who is 4 weeks post-op from a lower blepharoplasty (under-eyelash) and lateral incision to remove a small amount of excess skin. For the first time, I now have some laxness to the skin under my eyes as well as a slight crepey look and numerous under-eye wrinkles when I smile (I didn't have any of this before the surgery and had the surgery only to deal with some smallish bags). Will this resolve on its own as I heal further or will I need to take further action at 6 months?
