Face looks way too rounded and I do see some heaviness in my lower face after 1st session of Sculptra. Any suggestions?

Fatherland
35 yo male. Had my 1st vial of Sculptra injected into my cheeks 2 days ago. Wonder if the final result will be similar to the swollen look I have now (48 hours after 1st session). I realize what I have now is swollen+ water, but I'm afraid when Sculptra starts to take full effect (after 3rd session) the results will be the way I look now. If that’s true, I’m really concerned, because my face looks so rounded and I do see some heaviness in my lower face too, where it wasn't even injected.
