105 lbs. and 158cm (5’2) tall - Do I have enough fat for liposuction? (Photos)

I am thinking of getting lipo done to my flanks and abdomen, but I am unsure if I have enough fat on my flanks and love handle area. Can any surgeons clarify? Also, does my waist area count as flanks and do I have enough fat to remove from there? I am 105lbs and 158cm (5’2) tall. So my bmi is 19. I am also 20 years old.
