I am 3 weeks post-op reduction and lift, does everything look normal? (Photos)

I’m about 3 weeks post op, breast reduction and lift from a 38G to around a C/D, and I just wanted to make sure everything looks normal. I’ve been putting a triple antibiotic ointment on the incision areas and setting a gauze pad on top under my bra (that’s the weird square marks). My surgeon and I have talked about the possible necrosis on the left areola and he says everything else is looking normal I’m just paranoid and wanting to double check.
