Too Much Fat Injected During Transfer-looking Distorted and Freakish?

RedRoxie
I had almost 80 cc's of fat injected during a facelift to cheeks, eyes, lower face, chin, lips and temples. Its approx 1 month out and it looks awful. All i keep hearing is it will get better and just give it time. Will one of you please tell the reality of how it will actually look? I was a very pretty woman before and now I look like a drag queen. I can barely leave the house and embarassed to be seen in public. I went to a top doc who keeps saying just give it more time. how can this be?
