Should I lose 20lbs first and then do lower lids? Does it have an impact on the outcome?

Hi. I'm 59 years old and 20 lbs overweight. I am currently scheduled for a lower blephroplasty in 3 weeks. No fat grafting. He may use fillers afterwards if necessary. Should I loose the weight first and then do lower lids or does it have no impact on the outcome?
