Cheeks Swelling After Mid-face Lift?

Ann123
I had cheek implants 4 years and I have been happy with these. My eyes looked very hollow though and a fat transfer was performed 25 days ago to remedy this. I also had a Mid-face lift. Right now my cheeks are massive. I am really frighten that they are still so huge after 25 days and I'm beginning to doubt if the result will be natural or normal. I can't yet interact socially as I look monstrous. Is this swelling? My surgeon said that the result will be normal but I would really appreciate some other input. Will I look natural in 6-8 weeks?
