Can Subcision Be Done on the Chin Near the Mouth?

I have a few scars that are very bound down near my mouth. They're right under the corners of my lower lip. Will having subcision here damage the nerves?

Subcision on scars near mouth

Subcision is performed under the scar in the superficial layers of the skin, so it will not damage the nerves, which are much deeper. Subcision can be performed near the mouth without a problem.
