Terrified After Midface Lift - Now I Have a "Moon Face."

gatorgirl29
I recently had about 4-5 procedures performed seven weeks ago. One of the procedures was a midface lift.I am 29 years old and i had chubby cheeks even before surgery.Unfortunately i also had fat pads (i guessthe malar fat pad )on each side of my nose that kind of hung and dragged down my midface area. The doctore suggested i do a midfacelift along with the other procedures i was doing. Now my whole cheek upper mid and lower is full.I look like i am on steroids with a moon face.Can this be fixed?
