Yes, the flames dissipated when the Bankai released for the whole 2 seconds we saw of it. How do you know the flames are not about to come back? For all we know his Zanpakuto is about to explode. The fact of the matter is we don't know and saying it is a compressed type Bankai because as the sword was released, the flames went away for a second is pure speculation.
