Is this nipple death? (Photo)

Hello! First, please excuse the imprint on my breast from the pad I had in my bra. I had a breast reduction about 10 days ago. The tape was removed today. I'm concerned because my nipple looks like a huge scar for some reason. Is that normal? Is this nipple death? Am I just freaking out for no reason? Thank you in advance!
