Is It Safe to Have a Second Full Tummy Tuck?

Confused_Scared
I had a full tummy tuck 8 months ago. I still look like I am 4 months pregnant. I have to suck in my stomach. My PS tells me I will need to redo my full surgery again. He is not sure why I am not as flat as I should be. He thinks it may be my muscle. I have muscle repair done the first time also. I will not be charged full price. How safe is it to redo the surgery? Is it too early? Is the pain and recovery time the same as the first?
