I'm 5 weeks full TT. garment was too small & too tight cut off circulation leaving me with small necrosis. It's now opening up, I'm worried about getting infection & need to know the proper way to address this issue. Will I need to do a vac treatment? Will I need skin graft or only a small skin revision? I was instructed to use antibacterial soap and keep it clean and dry. Now that the area has opened up, should I be using anything on it to prevent infection? When can I get a scar revision?

I am not aware of any way the tummy tuck would tighten the vaginal area. The incision is placed low because it may pull the skin over the mons up slightly.
As noted, you would be best served with follow-up with your surgeon, his/her office, or covering surgeon if out of town. Observe the drainage site where the Penrose drain exits for signs of infection and contact someone if this shows much redness, inflammation, or cloudy/creamy discharge...
I personally would postpone the Tummy Tuck. Enjoy the cruise and have fun. You don't want to put your honeymoon cruse or Tumm Tuck at risk. I hope you find this information useful. For more information please watch the enclosed.
