Tonsillectomy procedure?

My dr wants to perform my tonsillectomy with an incision in the externally lower neck area. Is this normal? I can’t find anything online about it which is unnerving.

I am a vascular surgeon not Ear, Nose, and Throat. It would be unusual to make that incision unless you have an abscess... I would get another opinion.
If you are not comfortable, then get a second opinion.
