Mini Facelift at 40yrs - face looks pulled wide like alien / football

Hi, I just had a mini facelift - I'm 40 years old and healthy but lost a significant amount of weight recently. My surgery went ok but my Dr. didn't really ask me about my end goals. I feel like he does a one size fits all mini lift. Anyway, my fear is that he cut off too much skin / pulled my skin too tightly. I look like an alien where my eyes are wider apart now and my face is shorter. My end goals were to get rid of my nasolabial folds / jowls.

Has anyone else had this experience several weeks after surgery or does this go away with time?
