It is difficult to tell what is going on from your photos.  Whenever you have questions about how something is healing after surgery, it is best to see your plastic surgeon and be examined.Best wishes,Dr. Michelle Spring

It is not possible to determine what is going on based on your phoito and description.  Although I think an infectiuon is unlikely, you need to be seen and evaluated by your surgeon to make sure.  Best of luck.

It is difficult to tell from your photograph without examination of the white area can be an area of lack of blood supply to the skin.  You need to be examined in person by her plastic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.  I doubt this is infection.
