Fat necrosis 13 days after BBL? (Photo)

BBL2017Finally
I did a BBL 13 days ago. Immediately after I noticed stretch marks and bruising on right hip where the doc injected fat. There was light bruising and the skin felt painful when it rubbed against my clothes so I was rubbing it with Vaseline. Since then the area has turned dark and is now painful to touch. The area feels hard but it isn't rock solid. Is this fat necrosis or is it normal?
