Has my incision separated and become infected? Breast Aug 2 weeks post. (Photos)

Asked By:Littlemissyp in New York, NY

I had one breast reconstructed due to tubular deformity and that breast is causing alot of trouble. I sent these pictures to my surgeon as I am abroad on holiday for christmas, he told me to use antibiotics and antiseptic spray and to fly back to see him in the next week or two if there is no improvement. What is the white strip? Is it infected and will the infection spread to the implant pocket or is it superficial. The redness has gone down since yesterday and there is only occasional pain.
