Shirt Tore off Steristrip 1 Week Post Op, Should I See My Doctor?

erinpstone
I am 1 week out from a breast augmentation (275 silicone unders. 105lbs, preop 34AA) and my shirt tore off one of my steri strips. The incision seems to look ok, but it is a little red and a bit sore. There is a little part that doesn't look totally sealed (like a cat scratch). Should I go back to my doctor?
