Yes, being on the pill can cause weight gain and bloating (swelling) around the face. This weight gain and bloating is mostly water that is coming because of the hormones in the medication. I've had some weight gain occur and swelling around the facial area.
I would recommend letting your doctor know that you are concerned about the side effect to see what else they might suggest.
In the mean time here's the link to a site that might be of help til you can get a hold of your doctor. The link is at: http://forums.obgyn.net/womens-health
