3 days post op I have pain and redness on the left incision. Is this normal? (photo)

Neat3964
I’m three days post op and have had minimal pain. However I felt my left breast felt tighter and more uncomfortable today after taking my compression bra off to wash it. I noticed more discomfort radiating from the left breast and incision. Decided to take a peak at the incision and noticed it was a lot bloodier than the other incision and that there was some redness around the skin.is this normal?
