Should I gain some weight before my neck lipo so there is a little bit more to remove?

Dymo_Roxy
I have in the recent years attempted to starve myself because of the stubborn fat along my neck--which is unhealthy, I realize. I've finally decided to consider liposuction, but I'm very much underweight right now. I am hoping to gain a little to a healthy weight level, but I'm afraid if I do so after lipo, I may gain some fat along my neck and chin? (Which would exceed the point of getting surgery). Does it make any sense to gain some weight now so there is a slightly more amount of fat to remove?
