Does Liposuction to the Upper Abdomen Prior to a Full Tummy Tuck Give a Better Result?

Transformation2021
I have buldging in both my upper and lower stomach. I joke that I have two stomachs because I kind of do. My waist does not buldge like it does above and below. Would I get a better tummy tuck result by having lipo to the upper abdomen prior to my tummy tuck.
