Believe I tore my full tummy tuck. What are my options? Are revisions free for this?

katurlacher
Almost 2 yrs post full tummy tuck. I've been careful and remain healthy. Reached overhead and felt an extremely sharp, quick, tear pain approx 4 inches vertically down, left of my navel. My stomach continues to look/feel more and more lax. The middle now hangs vertically under breasts to pubis leaning over. Assuming I tore this with not much effort. Should I go to my Dr. for a revision? Will he do a revision for free? What's the proper protocol for something like this? Can't afford this again.
