Why do some doctors only cut a single incision under the chin and others cut two incisions by each ear? I presume more fat can be reached with 2 incisions but does the single incision limit the doctor that much more?

Answer: Chin liposuction incisions
Liposuction incisions can vary depending on your anatomy and the surgeon's preference. I prefer using more incisions if I think that I can better address the contour and fat. This is because it is often easier to reach the fatty tissue from a more remote area and attack it from different directions than placing an incision right in the middle of the area to be treated. The incisions are small and heal up so well that it is worth the tradeoff for better contour and more complete fat removal.

Answer: Approach from several angles
It is matter of the doctor's training an experience of his/her results. It is not uncommon to use both incisions so that the extra fat can be removed more evenly.
