If I Get Lipo on Abs Will I Lose Weight in Other Areas Faster Than if I Didn't Get Lipo?

mumbles
I am 44 years old, healthy female, 138 pounds and 5'6". I gained 10 pounds and am considering getting lipo on my abdomen. My question is, if I am losing weight, and I get lipo, will I lose the weight in other areas faster than if I did not get the lipo?
