2+ years post-op's?
Your skin won't tighten more than whatever it does during weight loss. That's why we turn to plastic surgery.
I know that significant lose skin must be corrected with surgery. I am not under the assumption that I will not want plastics to fix the panni that I am expecting.

My skin changes. My wrinkles shift. I can be the same weight and my stomach can look either crazily wrinkly or not so wrinkiy. Building muscle underneath changes the "look" of skin. I know some folks on the main board talk about being years and years out and their skin still shifting.
I think the part with the face is that when we lose, we tend to lose from the top down, and from the outside in. So our faces, necks, and chest can be very gaunt and sharp, and look a bit haggard, but when we are at a weight for a bit and the body can shift fat stores around, we can look less gaunt at the same weight.
You never can know what the end result is gonna be, for sure.
Edit to add - I say my skin shifts, but I think the skin just is what it is and its my fat stores shifting, but who knows really.
Yes, the LOOK of my skin changes over time. I am 3+ years out with no plastic surgery and that has been true for me.
