Asked By:fruitpunched in Seattle, WA

Q #1) Most importantly – how safe is this procedure? If 1 is not risky at all and 10 is very risky, how would you rate it? What percent of the time have you had/heard of serious complications & what were they? Q #2) Am I a good candidate? I have full cheeks around my mouth area, I’d like a more chiseled look. I’m 5’10”, 175 lbs…if I lost another 10-15 lbs would I achieve the same look? Q #3) How much should I have taken out? The entire “pad” or just a portion of it?
