Is it normal to develop a hard tiny ball on my waist right side after Liposuction? (photos)

Lynettem41
I got it done May 16th, and I notice the pea size ball on my right side by my waist about 4 days ago. It was painful at touch, now it got bigger, like it doubled the size and its hard. I called my Dr 2 days ago and she said it was normal. But that was before it got bigger. Its painful when I sleep on that side, so I try to positioned myself in different ways. I've been wearing my garment 24/7 religiously, I just tale it off to shower and get it cleaned.
