How likely are the chances of developing skin necrosis after tummy tuck?

Rogonzalez69
I've had 4 c sections and two tummy tucks. After my last baby I now have muscle separation and would like my c section scar revised so I am going to have a mini tummy tuck to repair the muscle separation and scar. After my fourth c section , two of my stitches opened and i developed an infection. The opening took 6 weeks to heal. How likely is this to happen again if I go trough with the tummy tuck? Non smoker, non diabetic, overall good health with only hypertension which is controlled.
