When Will Slimlipo Discomfort End (I am 9 weeks P/O)?

I am 9 weeks post Palomar Slimlipo procedure on my abdomen and still experience constant, severe tenderness in the area treated. I developed an egg-sized/shaped protrusion 5 days following the procedure. The doctor removed 5 syringes of fluid from the seroma, became visibly frustrated and told me to come back, that he would have a bigger syringe. Still wearing compression bandage and still terribly uncomfortable.
