"Rip" after Burpee
I doubt this is related to your previous abdominoplasty, but could have been some scar tissue tearing. If your pain persists, you will need to be evaluated for a hernia, or torn muscle.

"Rip" after Strenuous Activity?
I'm sorry to hear about your recent experience.
It will be in your best interests to be examined by your primary care physician. Based on your history it would be wise to rule out a hernia causing your symptoms. Physical examination will be key for diagnosis and treatment recommendations.
This wishes.
