15 days is definitely too soon

Unfortunately, the final results of fat transfer don't really stabilize till about 3 months after surgery. Usually fat transferred to the lips doesn't survive quite as well as fat transferred to the rest of the face. But you can always add more if you aren't satisfied in 3-4 months. Weight gain and loss can have subtle changes of your facial fat as well.

15 days post fat transfer

At 15 days post-op after anything surgical, including fat transfer, it's too early to tell what your result will be. Fat grafting seems to stabilize after about 3 months...so I"d recommend patience! And yes, the size of the fat cells can fluctuate with your weight - if you gain weight, the size of the fat grafts can increase, and so forth. Hang in there!
