Breast Reduction - hole developed. Is this a splitting suture? (photos)

I'm exactly 3wks post BR. 36GG to a D cup. My incisions were closed until tonight. After a bath I noticed a hole with butter-like fluid draining once I put a little pressure on. I then had some white discharge. Not sore, no redness, no temperature and it didn't smell. Have cleaned with alcohol wipe and will apply a gauze under bra. Is it a suture?! How long before it heals?
