9 days post op, small amount if fluid leaking around incision. Is this normal? (photos)

NA1994
I am 9 days post op from a breast augmentation with a benelli lift. Noticed last night that there is a very small area under my steri-strips that is leaking a very small amount of loose yellow fluid with a hint of red in it. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? The incision does not hurt, and all the other incisions feel great other than itching. It's hard for to tell if there is any redness because the steri-strips have been in place since the surgery.
