How to know if I’ve popped a suture/stitch? I am one week post op after a breast lift and am just back to work. (Photo)

Other than the normal post op pain, it hasn’t been too bad until today. I had a horrible pain in my lower incision under my right breast, at the T juncture. When I looked at it, there was blood (not bright red) and some green. Did I pop a sucher?
