I have significantly noticeable bulges beginning slightly below either side of my mouth and radiating towards my ears where my skin has been pulled. I am three weeks post surgery and still have swelling on the sides of my face.
Answer: Early post facelift swelling and skin tightness
That early from a facelift...you will have some swelling, so that should get better and it may be normal. Too much skin tightness after facelift, while less than ideal, will most likely "relax" with time. Sometimes, regular moisturizing of tight skin can help it feel better and adapt (strech) better.

Answer: Give it time Your tissues need time to relax after surgery, and swelling also needs to subside to alleviate the tightness you're feeling. Give it a few months before you judge your results.

Answer: Swelling after Facelift Generally speaking, it can take 6 to 12 months to completely heal after a facelift procedure. I would strongly recommend speaking with your surgeon or his/her clinical team to discuss your concerns further.

Answer: Swelling Following Facelift Surgery The tightness and tissue thickening that you describe following facelift surgery is usually related to swelling. This response varies from patient to patient and depends on the surgical technique and wound healing characteristics of the patient. The majority of swelling usually resolves in about two weeks following facelift surgery. At this point, most patients can return to work and resume normal activities. In most cases, total resolution takes about three months. In rare cases, swelling may persist for up to a year following surgery. It’s important to realize that more aggressive facelift procedures cause more swelling, which can last for longer periods of time. Elevation of the head and decreased salt intake may help decrease swelling after surgery. Swelling is normal following surgery, but persistent swelling should be evaluated by your surgeon.

Answer: Can a Too Tight Face Lift Improve with Time?
3 weeks is still relatively early in healing process after your surgery. There are still irritated nerves and tight muscles. Be patient and continue to follow up with your surgeon as directed.
