Lump Left After Coolsculpting?

chs123
Its been 5 1/2 weeks since I had coolsculpting with small applicator done of my lower abdomen. I did not have any side effects at 1st, but at 4 weeks a golf ball size lump developed. I have not gained any weight. I am 5'6, 111 lbs. This lump is very noticeable. I visited the doctor who agreed it was there, that it was fat, and for me to wait it out- that she may repeat the procedure in 3 months. Is this something anyone has heard of that will go away on its own. Im very self conscious about it.
