I still have a golf ball-sized lump where my lipoma used to be 3 months after removal. Is this normal?

I had a large lipoma removed from my abdomen 3 months ago, which resulted in a hematoma. When I went to get my stitches out, my doctor drained 20 ccs of blood. Unfortunately, I still have a golf ball-sized (hardish) lump. Is this normal? Removal of this thing took nearly an hour and seemed to present more of a challenge than the doctor anticipated.
