Would liposuction improve the appearance of my excess stomach fat or would I need a tummy tuck? (Photo)

emily58
Would liposuction work to improve the appearance of the excess fat on my stomach or would I end up with sagging skin and need a tummy tuck? I have 2 children my youngest 8 months old and currently 152lbs at 5’2”. I have always had extra fat on my stomach even long before having children when I was at a healthier weight. The marks on my stomach are from my trousers. Thankyou in advance for any feedback!
