​Is it normal for a incision on a Breast Lift scar revision to open up after only 5 days? Could it be infected? (photo)

Mygirl
5 days ago I had the scar at the top of both nipples revised do to stitches spitting. Today I noticed puss spots under the steri strips. As I took the strips off I noticed several large holes with puss and blood on the right breast which has been sore since day one. Is this the fault of my surgeon or is it just the way my body is reacting? What is the best way to treat the openings? Thanks!
