I Am 9 Weeks Post Breast Reduction Surgery. I Have Experienced Quite a Few Post Operative Problems, Are They Normal? (photo)

I had separation and infection of the incisions and also a hematoma in the right breast. I now have tissue retraction bilaterally. The right side is less obvious and is at the incision which leads me to think it would be from scarring. However, I still have a great amount of pain on the right side. The retraction on the left side is more extensive. It is also more medial and away from the incision. Should I be concerned or is this a common side affect after surgery?
