Breast reduction: does this look infected? (photos)

ra43lilly
I had a breast reduction 4 weeks ago. This breast was very swollen so my surgeon performed a second surgery to drain the old blood. I am 1 week post op from the second surgery. The right breast has super thin, clean scars but the left breast incision sites look really bad, thick and the spotting is bright red. The surgeon prescribed me silver sulfadiazine cream to apply to help with healing. Should I be worried?
