Can I Tear or Break a Suture if I Stretched my Abs Accidentally After Mini Tummy Tuck?

dg4865
I had an extended mini tummy tuck with muscle repair three weeks ago. I accidentally stretched my legs while in bed. I felt my muscles being stretched, specially my lower abdomen. Could I have torn a stitch or ruin my muscle repair? What symptom would I feel if I did tear one?
