Large, irregular lumps in the abs and love handles after liposuction, is this normal? (photo)

ch7879
48 hours after the surgery when I removed the compression garment for the first time, entire lower abdomen and flanks were irregular and swollen. PS asked me to continue wearing compression garment. At two weeks now and nothing has changed. No fluid under the skin, the lumps are hard to touch. Upper abdomen looks perfectly fine after the procedure. My PS thinks the compression vest squished the abs causing the lumps. He has now asked me to take off the vest completely. Please advice
