Yellow discharge from crease area after a thigh lift and rotten smell

Proud momma2009
3 weeks ago I had a 360 lower body lift and a thigh lift. 2 weeks ago my right thigh swelled and hurt. My PS said it is a superficial blood clot that needs warm cloths, ibuprofen and compression. My 2 thigh's drains were put a week post op. 5 days ago I noticed yellow discharge on the crease incision's tape. I called in they said its normal. Yesterday morning it started smelling a really rotten bad smell. Is it normal? Keep in mind I took 2 rounds of antibiotics. I am worried now! Thank you
