Is lipo both under and above chin muscle at the same time riskier?

November 21, 2018
Asked By:itsums in Colorado, CO

I found a plastic surgeon who says his technique is more aggressive because he liposuctions out the fat under my chin muscle as well as on top of my chin muscle. Is this a riskier procedure? My fat is between the two (not under and not only above) according to him. Should I get a second opinion? and what are the added risks involved with a deeper under muscle liposuction? (he uses vaser btw as well).
