What does the light red and yellow color mean? - Draining after a Hematoma, 2 weeks post BA. (photo)

TeeC71
I had a BA on Jan. 25th 2018. I was doing so well and even started massages until my right incision started dripping out dark red blood at Week 2. I let my surgeon know and he told me it was in fact a hematoma, internal bleeding. Due to this, my surgeon took me back to the Operating Room and took out the implant, cleaned everything and took out excess blood and gave me a drain for my right breast. My color started at red but now has stayed at light pinkish/reddish and yellow. What does it mean?
