What Causes An Oddly Shaped Enlarged Stomach After Titanium Mesh Placement?

I had breast cancer and had a double mastectomy, I had a tram flap for reconstructive surgery, and they used tituium mesh in my stomack because they used my stomack muscle for my breasts. Well my stomack used to be flat, now it s huge and has a strange shape in the middle. Did the mesh let go. Does it need to be replaced.
