Post Coolsculpting C-section Scar/adhesion Tear?

Post procedure pain in the fat area was normal (twinges, etc). But second day I experienced burning in the scar area, vaginal bleeding (for 1 week post procedure), and the pain on the scar is a 9. Can scar tissue rip and bleed? and if so will the bleeding resolve on its own? I have a hematoma on the right side now 8 days post procedure, scar still burning.
