Bleeding Incision After Tummy Tuck

Tori70
It's been about 10 days since my Tummy Tuck and I haven't had any issues that haven't been answered except that I was using a back brace since my back was hurting so bad and the doctor said it was okay. However, today, I noticed a spot where the tape over my incision line was bleeding. Is this normal and am I doing too much?
