9 weeks post lipo to the upper and lower abdomen and my back. Are these lumps going to go away or is it fat coming back? (Photo)

Gapeach1986
I am concerned that the lumps surrounding my belly button is fat coming back or could it be swelling/fluid still hanging around? It almost looks like my stomach is frowning. I am worried this will not get completely better. Do I have a valid concern or give it more time and it will heal on its own? Another thing I'm concerned with is my love handles, it seems that the fluid isn't budging. There is just as much fluid in them as there was 1 week post op. Tinder as well. Is that normal Thank you
