I'm super worried. I was already missing a tooth prior, and then my ortho decided to extract the other 3. Also I have never removed wisdoms. I asked the opinion of my aunt a regular dentist, & my dentist who did the xtractions for their opinion, & they both agreed with it. I have always been self conscious of my "monkey mouth" profile so i just went ahead & did it. But now reading everything online now I am terrified. What kind of effects will it have on my face? Can i do anything to reverse it? Implants?

Implant and fixed options are better now than they have ever been. I would get a consultation, 3D xray, and learn more about what can be done.
During the exposure of dental implant, second stage surgery no antibiotic is needed, unless your medical history is compromised. It is much easier than placing the dental implant, and usually a healing cap is placed prior to restoring the dental implant.
