Breast lift w/ augmentation wound healing, is this a possible infection? (Photos)

Lalaxox28
I am approx 3 weeks post op from my breast lift with augmentation. I got 275cc saline under the muscle implants. My incisions used to look so perfect & clean cut, and now they seem to be widening. My plastic surgeon has been telling me to use bacitracin and gauze. Also in his office he had put some adaptix on me. Why did my wounds expand and widen? Is this normal? Could a possible infection be present? Included are pics that I have been taking consistently. I'm scared about the scarring..
