Is It Possible to Have a Hernia from Smart Lipo?

S in PA
I'm now about 6 weeks post smart lipo on abdomen, flanks and back. The left front side is very noticably bulging out (and has been since the first day after lipo.) At the 3 week checkup, the doc says not to worry it could be "a type of hernia" but wait and see if the swelling goes down. Anyone else had this? How can I not worry? The right side of my abdomen is noticable flatter and straighter i.e. no more spare tire, but the left side still looks like it needs Lipo! (in MHO)
