Is it Okay to Lose Some Weight Before BBL?

I am planning on having a BBL in July of 2013. I want to lose about 35 pds before then. I'm 5'2" and 172 pds. I want to know if it would be unwise for me to add squats and lunges or other butt affecting exercises to my workouts. I ask this because I know these types of exercies will tighten the butt and therefore the skin. I want the max amount of fat possible transfered to my butt and I have heard of doctors not being able to achieve this because of skin being too tight. Thanks
