Will liposuction help correct my bloated appearance or should I consider a tummy tuck? (photo)

jenniferjen40
My stomach seems bloated at the top part of my stomach and I don’t know if lipo will fix it or I need a tummy tuck. I have issues with the top portion of my stomach being bloated or extra fat and my lower belly also has either fat or loose skin. I want a flat stomach but nothing dramatic so I’m not sure if lipo can solve these problems…. What’s your advice for me based on my pictures. I am 5’1 and weigh 130. Thank you.
