Can a 25lb Weight Gain Stretch out my Muscle Repair?

justasking1978
I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair in 2007. I am 5'10 and was 150lbs at that time. Over the past four years I have gained about 20-25lbs and I am worried that I stretched out my muscle repair in my abs. I am working on losing the weight now, but still concerned. Thank you for any input!
