Subcision on temples and forehead? Could they hit a nerve?

Asked By:SusanKate in Flagstaff, AZ

I have rolling acne scars on both and am supposed to do this procedure - am concerned about hitting facial nerves . Is this a no go zone or can a skilled plastic surgeon totally avoid hitting the nerve?
