Will pregnancy ruin my facelift results?

510baby
I’m 37 with fairly firm skin. Noticed sagging in my jowls that filler wasn’t fixing, so I had mid-facelift surgery right after my 37th birthday. Surgeons nurse warned the results could be negatively affected, if I gain or lose weight significantly, after surgery. My 1st pregnancy I gained 25 lbs and, lost 15 lbs, 2 months after delivery. Will a new pregnancy ruin my results? Is there an ideal length of time to wait before conceiving to preserve the results?
