Could submental liposuction puncture lymph nodes?

January 4, 2023
Asked By:sallyirene11 in Hope, New York

I am looking to undergo a Laser Lift with Precision Tx, which involves liposuction and laser treatment to tighten skin in my submental area. I began thinking recently about the risks of liposuction in such a delicate area. I was wondering if it is possible for the cannula to puncture areas inside the neck such as lymph nodes or my voice box? I am undergoing laser tattoo removal, so I often have swollen lymph nodes. Thank you!
