Maybe I'm mistaken...but it seems that Maynard's lip looked a bit like a pork chop, too. If you sound good, have good endurance, are playing consistently and reliably and everything else is in place, I would not really worry too much about it. If you have to compensate in ways that create tension and cost you endurance or sound, then there's a problem and you should consult with a teacher.
