Burning sensation on scar tissue after Smart Lipo. Is this normal? (Photo)

lotus90
I got smart lipo down 7 weeks ago. I wore my compression garment 24/7 for about 5 weeks and on and off for another week and now I’m not wearing it at all. I’m noticing a large lumpy area on my upper abdomen. For the past 3 mornings I’ve woken up with an intense feeling of burning in that area. I’m still receiving a massage once a week with cavitation but I only see and feel the scar tissue getting worse. Can this scar tissue stay permanently? And is this burning normal?
