Why is my Stomach Shape So Different when Sucking In? (photo)

I'm planning on having a mommy makeover and am having a hard time finding before & after photos of women I feel I look similar to. When I really relax my stomach expands significantly, why is this? What type of results do you think I'll see? When I lay down or suck in my hip bones protrude, does this change the scar shape I should get? I'm also looking at a mastopexy but am debating whether I need implants to have a similar round shape. Finally can I expect an hour glass shape afterwards?
