Is this inframammary Breast Augmentation incision infected at 22 days post op? (photos)

jewells38
I have been healing tremendously and so happy! At 20 days the scabbing started to separate from the incisions. As I was cleaning the incisions my pressure non-forcefully encouraged the left scab to come off. Followed by slight redness and discomfort for an hour. I took a shower and put steri-tape on both of my incisions. At day 22 I took the tape off and noticed a small amount of brown puss along with a very slight odour (left). Is this infected? Again, no pain or discomfort just worried.
