Is this and early sign of skin necrosis after tummy tuck? (Photos)

Floridamomofsix
I’m 5 days PO and I just left my one week follow up appointment. My PS said that everything looked alive and it was healing well but she also mentioned I had a blister by my incision. She did not expound on her comment. I didn’t even remember she noted it until I got home. The color started out pale, is now pink with a small black blister. Is this an early sign of necrosis? What can I do to prevent further damage? What are the long term effects?
