Can I have liposuction of the jawline if I had jaw surgery 9 years ago?

December 31, 2014
Asked By:EROH in Vancouver, BC

I had jaw surgery on the lower jaw with plates running along the jaw bone, and a chin reconstruction with a 'pin'. The surgeon at the time recommended that I get liposcuplture of the jaw line at the same time but we couldn't afford it. so what I want to know is if its still safe to do the lipo at this point in time, with the jaw plating having healed.
