Based on the swelling, I feel I don't like my sculptra placement. Is this where I should expect collagen to form?

RunAfterIt
Is there pretty much a direct mapping between the initial swelling and where I can expect new collagen to form in a year or so? I'm hoping not because as it is now, my face just looks shapeless and pillow-like, which is what I was hoping to avoid. I wanted just a subtle lift and got a fat-faced, smooshed look instead. Does this fullness project something like what I'll see later? I'm not that swollen now, but the subtle contours of my face are a wrap and I'm kind of pissed about how it's shaped.
