Is this the beginning of necrosis? Three weeks post off breast implant and lift. (Photo)

KDAB
Hello- I am 3 wks po and a couple of days ago noticed a blood-blister looking spot on my horizontal incision. There is redness in the area. No warmth or fever. I sent pics to my PS' post op nurse and was prescribed antibiotics. No problems to date except for spitting suture removed 5 days ago. Where I am pointing in the picture, in the red area, it feels hard underneath. I am early 30s, healthy, non-smoker and got 350 cc gel and lift. I attached a photo of my L breast which is healing nicely.
