Can I do waist/ stomach lipo and how risky is it? (25yo, 153cm/5ft, 53kg/116pounds)

I’m 25, female, 153cm and 53kg (5feet + 116pounds), have been weightlifting for 3 years now, but my midsection never slims down no matter how much I train or what calorie deficit I do. Other parts have improved, it’s just the midsection that’s stubborn. Booked a lipo appointment in China this July & would stay 7-9 days there then head back to Europe and am currently researching these 3 lipo techniques and wanted to ask which one I would need and if there’s benefits to the pricier ones: 1. Traditional negative pressure lipo or water-assisted lipo 2. ⁠gold lipo/ BodyTite/ RF (Radiofrequency- assisted lipo) 3. ⁠5G Angel Sculpt (Alma 1470nm Laser-Assisted Liposuction System) other questions: 1. How painful is it really? 2. ⁠Will skin return to be smooth or will the texture change permanently? How will the body/ in my case midsection feel afterwards? 3. ⁠Do the different Lipo techniques like RF or 5G help make recovery quicker or make the result smoother? 4. ⁠when do swelling, bruising, numbness, tight lumpy fibrosis and pain fully fade? 5. ⁠Would abdomen and waist be enough or should I consider the back too? 6. ⁠Overall safety level and the realistic result? 7. ⁠when can I safely resume weight training again post-op? 8. ⁠Are lymphatic massages mandatory? 9. ⁠How long until regular full-body massages, sauna & swimming are okay again? 10. ⁠How common is permanent clumping/lumps, and how risky is the procedure overall? goal: a flatter stomach & slimmer waist
