Risk of Nerve Damage with Chin/neck Liposcution?

June 28, 2012
Asked By:MissV_ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am looking to book my liposuction procedure for my chin/jowl area, but am absolutely terrified of having nerve damage causing a droopy mouth... im really just worried about ruining my face because i want to change the shape of my neck/chin, from the front im happy,looks defined, i just hate my side profile, the face goes straight down, no angle is this ever permanent? if it were to happen (fingers crossed) will it ruin my face forever? what are the chances this will happen at all? Thank you
