4 weeks post op, noticed more drainage than usual and wound separation. Advice? (photos)

nikitaxo
I will be 4 weeks post op in two days. I have been having small amounts of drainage which I was told was normal. Over the weekend, I noticed I had a bit more drainage than usual. I then came to find that it appears my wound is separating. I called my surgeons office after hours and they said they will give my doctor the message and I assume hopefully see me tomorrow. I’m freaking out because I was reading about possible implant infection.
