Too early
It is way to early after surgery for you to worry about asymmetry and contour. There is significant swelling in the first two weeks after surgery, and sometimes even longer than that. Furthermore, surgical scar will evolve and soften over a period of months. I would not consider revision surgery on anyone until the 3 month post operative visit, and sometimes even longer than that. Please be patient with your body and let it heal.
And always always discuss these concerns with your surgeon.

Divot After Glabellar. Post Face, Neck, Upper and Lower Bleph?
Would like to see before photos posted. But fat grafting can help. Best to seek return to your surgeon of choice and obtain additional in person consults.

Problems after surgery....Divot in forehead.
Your surgeon knows much more about your procedure than anyone on Earth. Best by far to go and talk to your surgeon.

Divot after glabellar surgery.
Sorry to learn about the divot. Generally speaking, it is too early to do anything. You want to wait for all the swelling to subside before addressing the divot. This can be with non surgical means such as a filler or redo fat injection. Excision of the divot is also an option.

That's a lot of surgery just two weeks ago.
It is great when things are calm after surgery. Obviously you have some issues but it is so early from surgery that it is most reasonable to let thing settle more. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon so he or she can follow you for these issues.

Fat transfer to glabella
It is difficult to imagine how the glabellar depression would be related to the surgeries you mention and it is much more likely that the depression is a pre-existing condition. The pre-op pictures would be helpful to review. Fat grafting is a good option but its too early to determine final results and it can be repeated to get approprite improvement or your surgeon can perform a direct excision. It is advisable to give yourself 3 months to heal before seeing the final result (which...

Deep vertical forehead depression
It sounds like you had this problem before surgery and a fat graft didn't work. A direct excision with a layered closer should give a nice result. The scar should be easy to disguise.
