Inverting rectus muscles with plication - will this affect my ability to use core muscles? (photos)

mango88
3/2022 I had TT w/o muscle plication as my surgeon said I had only one finger width separation of abs. I wish I was flatter and that I looked less wide from the side. PS said that though my separation is minimal he can redo TT to include plication and slightly invert the muscles in the midline. Will this cause problems with my posture or affect my ability to use my core muscles properly? Is it likely to make me look thinner and flatter from the side? 5'4 135lbs 22% bodyfat for reference TY
