Is Facial Lipo Combined with Sciton Skin Tightening Safe?
I'm a healthy 35 year old male who had Liposuction on the face and neck/buccal pad fat excision 3 years ago and the results were good.
Now, I still see a bit of fat in the jowls-lower cheek areas and when I went to my plastic surgeon, he recommended to do a facial lipo(laser-assisted)and SCITON skin tightening during the same day.
