Is this a seroma or scar tissue and will this go away? (Photos)

Cadiz01
I recently had Smart lipo done (10/24/18) and my PS stated that my stomach was flat after the procedure. However; after I removed the bandages and padding 2 days later I got this huge bulge which hasn’t gone down since. Its over 9 days, It’s tender to the touch and bruised. PS said it might be scar tissue and there’s not much he can do but hope it goes down. I look horrible, my stomach now looks deformed.
