Hello!
You definitely need followup. You can visit with the surgeon who operated on you and try to understand the outcome and what might be done to make you happier with how you look. You can also visit with another surgeon, but make sure to bring preoperative photos and your operative report. Be sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon. You can find one at plasticsurgery.org.
Best of luck to you!

I am sorry for the issues that you are having.  I think that photos and perhaps a virtual or in person consultation would help me to understand the issues that you are dealing with more effectively

I am sorry that your are unhappy with your result.  Photos and likely an in person consultation would be best to assess the objective problem, your perception of the problem, and potential solutions.

To make an assessment on the outcome of a plastic surgery procedure we always need to see proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have before and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took. We can’t make an assessment and so we can’t really give you advice. It sounds like, what you need is some reassurance. Follow up with your provider and if you feel like you need a second opinion and schedule second opinion consultations as in person consult with other providers. For a second opinion consultations patient should come prepared bringing with them a complete set of before and after pictures , a copy of your operative report and preferably a copy of your initial consultation. These are all available from your current provider if you ask for them. 
Best,
