I Had a Breast Enlargement and Mastopexy 6days Ago and They Are Yellow and Hurt is This Normal or Infected?

I had breast enlargement and mastopexy 6days ago. One of them sticks out more that the other, hurts more in certain places when touched, feels tighter and gets random pains. The other one is still sore, tight and hard and red in certain places but just not as much as the other. They are both yellow around the areola and in certain places are redish and hard. The one that hurts more is also yellow underneath near the scar. Is this just bruising? Or should i be worried?
