Candidate for liposuction post-pregnancy (photo)

bjh1995
Am I a candidate for liposuction post pregnancy? I’m 4 months post partum from an emergency c section and wanting liposuction on my lower stomach when I’m 6 months post partum. I’ve been for a consultation and was told my only option is a tummy tuck which just seems so extreme to me as I don’t have any loose skin or diastasis recti. It’s really disheartened me as I definitely do not want a tummy tuck but I did want liposuction to give me a boost of confidence since being pregnant
