Still sagging after facelift. Is this normal?

persk
I had a facelift 3 1/2 weeks ago. I still have 25% swelling and numbness. As my swelling starts to subsides, I see my face starting to sag on the one specific area that bothered me.. around the marriott area, on my left side of my face. 50% is back. It may be back even more as after my swelling diminishes. Is this normal?
