Will The Final Result of Sculptra Be Similar to the Swollen Look I Had Initially?

1000_worry
I just had my 1st injection of sculptra and my face is too full. I realize it is swollen but i was told that when sculptra does start to take effect the results are usually tantamount to the way they looked after the injection while their faces were swollen. Now I do not see any uplift of face, instead i look saggy baggy because of the volume. Please tell me i am wrong and the swollen effect will go down.
