Chubby face since I hit late puberty?

trappey
I've always had flawless skin until I hit late puberty. When I was about 16, I started to get acne (I'm 19 now) and my cheeks got chubbier. Before I had acne, my skin was all flat and skinny, you could even see my cheekbones. But ever since I got acne, my face got rounder and chubbier. My cheeks are so chubby right now that I can't even see my ears when I take selfies infront of the camera. Will this go away or will I have to get surgery to fix this? I still have light acne.. I am a male.
