When swelling goes down does the skin and tissue retract and tighten or does it become lax?

Asked By:lilt in North Versailles, PA

I am still swollen and tight in front of my ears and neck since having neck lipo and a mini facelift 11 weeks ago. I wondered when the swelling finally dissipates will the cheek/ ear area tighten and retract or will it relax. In other words what happens to the tissue after the swelling leaves?
