I had major lipo Sept 04 and revisions Feb 05 so I qualify as a vet. One of the warnings that are given to anyone having lipo is that cellulite can become more pronounced and even show up in places you previously did not have it. The good news, in your case, is that cellulite is not usually an issue on the belly so I am thinking , especially since you are so early in the healing, that you are experiencing the totally normal part of the recovery.
Endermology helps break up these hardened areas, as well as ultrasound and if you can find anyone who does lymph massage that would be the best bet but they are hard to find.
Expect to have this for a good 3-4 months...yes, it often takes that long to smooth things out.
And, wearing your stage 2 garment is important to to help smooth out what fat is left post lipo. The garment helps to mold your new shape so it needs to be snug, not loose in any way.
