Am I at a higher risk for wound healing or necrosis if I get a tummy tuck since I had prior abdominal surgeries? (Photo)

It appears from your photograph, that all the scars except for above the umbilicus will be resected at the time of the tummy tuck. This will not create any significant increase in complication rate for wound healing or necrosis.

Best Wishes,

You are not at higher risk for skin/tissue necrosis because of prior abdominal surgery like yours. In fact, most or all of the violated skin/tissue will be excise in a tummy tuck.
