Tummy Tuck incision split with drainage and white tissue (photo)

mom36
I am 19 days Post po. after my last drain was pulled on day 14 @ less than 30cc, I went back two days later with incision draining fluid and tissue whiteish and gooey in those areas. Dr drained 37cc from stomach, said nothing looked infected, however put me on 5 day antibiotic to be safe. I was told to wash area 1-2x per day with antibacterial soap and cover with it. Why is this happening, does it look normal, how long will it take to heal?
