Can you be too slim for liposuction?

ali5as
I'm female, 18 yo, 5'6" and 126lb, relatively muscular, not super skinny but on the slimmer side of average. I hold a little excess fat on my stomach and am considering some form of liposuction, because I want to see some ab definition and really don't want to lose any fat from anywhere else. But can you be too slim for liposuction? Apart from the usual possible complications, are there dangers associated with this type of patient getting liposuction?
