Specifically subcutaneous fat near mouth and lower face above jawline (including below where buccal fat is concentrated). Is lower facial lipo (traditional, no laser/heat/ultrasound) dangerous or risky?

Answer: Safety in Facial Liposuction The facial nerves are deep to the muscles, so would not be injured by an expert doing liposuction there. However, no facial rejuvenation expert I am aware of would do liposuction on the face. The face loses volume as it ages, or, at least, the volume shifts. To rejuvenate the face we need all the fat there we can get, so we certainly don't want to remove any. Even if you look a little better immediately after, you will regret it in a few years. (The neck, however is different, so these comments are very specific to the face.)
