Question about fat removal options before pregnancy?

dance7
I'm in my late 30s, planning a pregnancy in 4-6 months. I’m 5’4” 114 lbs and generally happy with my body, but bothered by "bra rolls" and a lower belly pooch. I've considered liposuction but am wary of the recovery time given pregnancy goals. I’ve tried CoolSculpting 2 yrs ago but results were minimal. Seeking an effective, shorter-recovery procedure and open to travel outside San Francisco. Not aiming to look like a fitness model, just a smooth midsection with no bra roll.
