Question

Asymmetry on one side of my chin looks a little bit fuller than the other. I have been wearing compression 23 hours a day from the beginning. Wondering if candidate for revision Lipo or if it’s not necessary? Thank you

Based on your nicely posted photos, it is still very early in the healing period to seek revision. If after one month and multiple massages on that neck area that it seems to be more swollen or still with fat, then a revision could be anticipated. Expect fees to be incurred to cover the cost of revision in the range of $1000-$2000. Another consideration would be that this is your mandibular gland causing this issue? Best to virtual consult with.

There is some baseline facial asymmetry in you, as there is for all other people.
It does look like your subcutaneous fat layer is slightly thicker on the right hand side.
It seems reasonable to consider touchup procedure in six months.
Talk to your provider about this.
The ability to deliver consistent quality. Liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize.
The number of plastic surgeons who’ve truly mastered this procedure is pretty small.
 Most plastic surgeons, think they’re better at Liposuction than they actually are.
Finding the right provider for this procedure is also inherently difficult and time consuming. 
Sometimes it’s simply a matter of luck.
For reference when we make assessments regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure, which generally always should look at before and after pictures.
If you don’t have your before pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
 Whenever getting an assessment for the outcome of an operation bring or post proper before and after pictures.
Please.
Your provider, but realize that we do not typically do revisions within the first six months.
You should also realize that you have asymmetric bone structure, both of your mantle and maxilla.
Best,
