Open wounds at T section and around nipple from breast reduction. Do these look normal? What else can I do? (photos)

VML13
Since my breast reduction I've had a small opening go into a bigger opening within a week. My Dr. Said in the first pic it was normal an to use neosporin and gauze to help heal... but since then(1 week second pic) its gotten worse looking in my opinion. Will i have a huge gap scar?? What does this mean??? Also around my nipple it looks like where my stitches were are the most irritated. Will this heal ugly???
