Should I start the gym before or after my liposuction procedure? How will this affect my results?

Santorini111
ISince I don‘t know if I will be attending the gym for decades I am concerned that if I lose weight before the liposuction and my fat cells will shrink but the amount will stay the same, I will compromise the outcome if I stop going to the gym. Will the same amount of fat cells be removed in their shrunken form if I lose weight before the surgery or shall I postpone the gym for after the procedure to avoid making my surgery result depended on my commitment to attend a gym.
