11 weeks post op. Am I spitting a stitch or is it something more serious? (Photos)

I had a breast lift with 250cc implant 11 wks ago then yesterday I had what looked like yellowish puss come out of a small area along the incision. I showered as normal & today the inside of my bra has blood & puss on it, the wound looks larger & I’m concerned. I did have 2 spitting stitches that healed on their own but there wasn’t this amount of leakage. No pain, no smell but there is some redness around the area. This is just under the nipple where the incisions meet. Is this worrisome?
