Before surgery, my stomach had a bit of loose skin, mainly on the bottom. I also always thought that my stomach bulged out. My ps thought that my upper stomach was fine, but that my lower had diastasis recti and that’s why I had a bulge. I also didn’t like my bb, so I had a revision. My “modified” tt with fascia sown only on the bottom and bb revision was 4 weeks ago. I hope they will improve, but I’m wondering if I really did have enough skin to have a full tt.

From your photos you are a better candidate for a standard tummy tuck with liposuction. This will address excess fat and skin as well as correct abdominal wall laxity. A mini tuck will not address the area above the belly button which may result in an abdominal contour that bulges at the top. ...
It is not common to leak a lot of blood from a tummy tuck. Please contact your surgeon for an evaluation. You did not provide before photos so I can't comment on the appearance of your abdomen but your surgeon will be able to advise you how to proceed.
When you bend, you will see extra and loose skin. There are minimally invasive radiofrequency skin tightening options like Renuvion which might work very well for you.
