What Type of Lipo Would Be Best for my Me? (photo)

Hello, I am 24 going to 25. I am 5'1 and weight 175, I want to remove, thigh, love handles,upper/lower belly, Flanks, jaw, and arm fat. Maybe put some of the fat in my butt (don't have any not shaped well). I let myself go after working in a Domestic Violence Shelter. I want to go back to 135 lbs. I believe the lipo will be a good start and motivation and getting back on track. I would really appreciate your response.
