Liposuction for an athletic build - what can I expect? (Photos)

amyc.ho
I am considering arm, abdomen, and waist liposuction, however haven't been able to see many result photos for anyone of my similar starting size. I am 5'9 and roughly 145-150 lbs, with an athletic build. I am pretty slim already but want to have a totally flat stomach/smaller waist, and I'm not sure how realistic that is. Some photos I've seen of lipo on already skinny patients just doesn't give of dramatic results as I think I am looking for, and I don't want to go through with it if it's not going to be much change. I am also a little concerned of if it looks obviously like a lipo tummy (e.g. lumpy, or my bellybutton gets stretched out). Any and all advice on what I can expect/best ways to prevent risks would be awesome.
