Fatter, square face, deformed head-shape after mini-lift, is this normal?

FatBuddha
I am 3 days post-mini-lift. My upper cheeks which were always full look fatter. I fear that the doctor just tucked skin from my jaw up to cheeks. He says that this is a swelling, but to me, it does not feel like swollen cheeks. You cannot see my ears from the front. Ears look like they are now at the bottom of my head and appear bigger and longer. My whole head looks deformed, I look like a square on a slim chin. I am so desperate, I cannot even stop crying. I am still young, 27 years old.
