TT 2 years ago, apple shaped body. Lipo or fleur de lis to give me more waist and less fat? (Photo)

claydo2112
I had a full tummy tuck 2 years ago, was happy with the results but I carry fat around my middle. Above my belly bottom particularly. I have no waist line so wondered if I had lipo of flanks and upper abdomen would it give me a better shape or would it leave me with more loose skin. Or would a fleur de lis and lipo give me a better overall shape. I know scarring would be worse but my tummy is pretty scared already. I want to lose weight (5kg) prior to any surgery which is likely 5 months away.
