What is the Danger of Losing BB for Tummy Tuck Revision. My PS Says Don't Worry if Will Be Healed After a Month.

I had a TT about 3 years ago and there is some uneven and lax skin above my BB. My PS thinks the best way to correct is to cut the bb (keeping the existing BB hole) and stretch the skin down towards the pubic area. He tells me that he can't move the BB downward and has to detach it. He says the only downside is that it takes few weeks to heal and I shouldn't worry about infection!. Does this makes any sense?.
