Will my muscles and fascia stretch again if I get a tummy tuck revision?

Genuine80021
I had a Tummy Tuck and at first it looked great. Then at about month 2 my stomach started to bulge back out and now it’s back to a 50% reduction with a bulge in my lower abs. I saw my surgeon and he said my fascia stretched out because I’m just the 1% of patients that this can happen to. He thinks my stitches are fine, but my muscles and fascia are just stretch after pregnancy. He doesn’t usually do revisions, and he thinks if I get a revision it may just all stretch again. Is that true?
