Very Deep ProFractional Treatment - Fear

I am terrified of the pain and any possible disfiguration. I was also told that I would look like a monster for a few days, which I can handle as long as my face heals and there is no disfiguration. Is it dangerous to do a very deep ProFractional treatment? The surgeon is doing my entire face and the process will take 2 ½ to 3 hours.
