Liposuctioned areas hurt 1.5 months after. Is it normal?

I had lipo on my abdomen and my sides 1,5 months ago and the whole area is still very tender, and it hurts (not a lot though, but enough to disturb me) when i touch it, and the area is hotter than the rest of my body. I also have dark spots that look like very faded bruises. Is it something to be worried about? I wore compression garment 24/7 for a whole month post op, can it still be seroma? If not, then what?
