It's common to have lumps and bumps immediately after surgery. Give it several months minimally to let the dust settle. Virtually every patient has some slight irregularities immediately after surgery.

Jay M. Pensler, MD answers: Deformed chest after Male breast reduction?
I had Gynecomastia removal along with Liposuction on my chest. Anyway, it has been 3 1/2 weeks since the surgery and I have these hard lumps under my skin that feel somewhat painful at times.
I contacted the office and the doctor told me that it was scar tissue and that it should go away within 6 months-1 year. My chest looks kinda deformed because of the swelling/scar tissue? Will this go away? Sharp pains shoot through that area if I lift anything over 10 lbs.

Your results are very normal and I would not at all use a strong word like deformed to describe your outcome. The lumps are extremely common and to be expected. The scar tissue is actively and normally forming at 3 1/2 weeks postoperatively.
Perform scar massage if permitted by your surgeon and give it at least 3-4 months before assessing the results of your surgery.
