If this is fat, should I seek a revision from my surgeon? 8 weeks post (photo)

Question

I got neck/chin liposuction 8 weeks ago. It definitely looks better but I still have a prominent roll of what appears to be fat/skin that becomes very visible when I bring my chin closer to my chest. I know that healing takes time and the skin/muscle needs to tighten back up, but could ALL of this really just be skin/muscle? I am in my twenties and seemed to have been a pretty good candidate. If this is fat, should I seek a revision from my surgeon?

Hi,
8 weeks is early. Your healing will take up to 8-12 months. But I think you shouldn't expect a slim and angled neck only by liposuction. If the fat in your neck is completely removed then you would experience a very bizarre deformity (an emaciated neck) of your neck and considerable amount of irregularities. You also have some skin laxity which necessitates other kinds of interventions (such as RF, Ultrasonic tightening methods).
Best wishes,
