It depends a bit on what the concern is, so it's tough to say without more details or seeing pictures. I typically would advise waiting until you are at least 6 months out to make sure that it has fully settled before repeat grafting or attempting to remove any unfavorable graft.
Is the minimum time to wait, but 6 months is probably better, especially if the harvest sites will be the same.
It has been our experience with over 25 years of facial fat tranfers, that it takes 8-12 months for fat grafts to take and mature; in same cases even longer. You may see some, hopefuly better, changes coming in few months.

This can be treated with micro-liposuction using a small cannula to suction out this accumulation of fat.
