Swollen Chin After 3 Months Sliding Genioplasty!?? PLEASE HELP!!

Also I don't like how my face looks long!! Is there any way I can get a revision done and put everything back to the way I looked before surgery??? Plus I have weird shadowing when I look in the mirror, it looks like my chin is BULGING OUT OF MY FACE and it looks like I have the fattest face with a skinny body. My surgeon is no help, he told me all my swelling is gone and if this is the final results then I can't live with this on my face :( Please help! I'm freaking out and going crazy.
