Worried about healing following breast reduction, should i be concerned or is there something I could do? (Photos)

mcur
Approximately 1 month post-op (25 days to be exact). 23 yr old, healthy BMI non-smoker. Im concerned about the appearance of the scar, originally there was crusting which turned to sloughing. Surgeon said it appeared normal(2wks).Now the crusty old skin hassloughed off left this white appearance. occ sharp pain there, not warm to the touch. Right breast had a lot of residual fluid and i have to massage to break up. Is the incisions healing properly? And is there anything else i could do to help?
