If I have a face lift before I reach my ideal weight, how will that affect my results when I lose the weight? (Photo)

Asked By:grandmana in Omaha, NE

If I am in within about 30 pounds of where I want to be with my weight and have a face lift done, and then some months later lose that 30 pounds, will that affect the work that I had done on my face? More concerned with the jowls and lower face. Thank you!
