4 weeks post op. Is this loose skin, swelling or remaining fat/gland after gynecomastia surgery? (photos)

The scuba diver
I had lipo done on chest only because doctor said there was no gland during surgery. I'm four weeks post op now. My chest from the front looks good now. From an angle it looks like like maybe loose skin or gland/fat? I doubt it's swelling because both nipples and surrounding skin look cone shaped. I wanted a flat and even looking chest from any angle. I understand there would be swelling but this just doesn't look like it. I've been wearing compression vest religiously all day all night.
