2 months after surgery still have bruises. Is this going to fade away? (Photo)

tmartins84
I had a liposuction two months ago and I had a few complications - too much bruising and necrosis. All my pre op exams had normal results, and I am not a smoker. My doctor says in years of experience she has never seen a reaction like this. The necrosed area is healing but I still have some remaining bruises. Will the brownish colour bruising fade away?
