Do you need to lose weight to have a drainless tummy tuck if you are also getting lipo? If so, how much?

Asked By:msohlberg1992 in Box Elder, SD

I am 5'2 and 160 I am losing weight at the moment but I don't want to wait until I am at my goal weight to have a T.T. After 4 kids I am over my mom belly, the Stubborn fat that makes me look pregnant at the top of my stomach & the excess skin. A friend of mine took 6 months to lose 20 pounds and finally had her T.T. So my question is would I be able to receive lipo along with my drainless TT instead of waiting 3+ months?
