Am I a good candidate for a reduction? (photos)

September 17, 2024
Asked By:kikay92 in Los Angeles, California

I am 34 years old and debating on getting BFR. I have read that it will depend on my facial anatomy and if there is any uneveness or even hollowness it will show more prominently. I have attached some photos of me currently now, and of me at my ideal weight. I have seen my parents and they all have full cheeks and jowls. Also, I have had masseters botox about 3-4x and now no longer need it as the muscle has shrunk.
