I have had an umbilical hernia repair also repair of the recti to prevent recurrence a few years ago through a small vertical incision next to my belly button. This was not done as a cosmetic procedure. What will be different in the tummy tuck I am now considering. Why has it come undone and could this happen again after the tummy tuck? I don't want to keep having to get these muscle sewn back together??
