Should I lose weight before seeking chin/neck liposuction? If I do this now, will it prevent it getting worse in the future?

Asked By:fiona8258 in Dubai, AE

My father had no chin by the time he was 40, the skin sunk into his neck. I am about to turn 34, and I've noticed, not so much a double chin, but like others around my age who have done reviews on this procedure, less definition, its like the skin from my chin is hanging down and merging with my neck. I am probably 20 lbs overweight, I am 143 now. Should I lose the weight before the procedure? Does the procedure help prevent further sagging/fat accumulation for the future if I don't gain weight again?
