Still Swollen 4 Weeks Post-op (Cheek Lipo) - Final Results?

yakumo
It has been 4wks and the recovery from swelling slowed down considerably after the 3rd week and seems to have reached a plateau. I can see that my face has narrowed but my cheeks protrude outwards from my profile. The puffiness casts shadows underneath my cheeks as though little mounds of fat have been placed on either cheek. I also feel a lot of firmness and lumps but I feel I look the same every morning. Does this mean my final results wont be too much better than my current appearance?
