Asked By:ibetwelaugh in Avon Park, Florida

I had a FDL tummy tuck with muscle repair i. September of last year, in November instarted noticing my stomach above my belly button sticking out more than normal. My surgeon examined and said there was no issues now he says there is a little separation from sutures riping through weak tissue. I did gain 10lbs could this be the cause? Will it get worse? I’m scared to do anything physical now and do not like how it looks
