How close to ideal weight should I be for best results from lipo?

Asked By:Realkbj in 98027 - Issaquah, WA

I am scheduled for traditional lipo for my inner and outer thighs in a little less than three weeks. I recently gained a few pounds over the holidays and am currently 8 to 10 pounds over my ideal weight. I am 5'3" and 128 pounds - my normal weight is closer to 122. My goal weight is between 117-120. Will the extra few pounds make a difference in my results? I plan to get the extra weight off after the surgery if I can't lose it all beforehand.
