Asked By:Momma26 in Milpitas, CA

Im worried about this procedure but I'd like to have it done as turkey neck runs in my family. Would this make my pre jowls look worse? Will it affect the shape of my lower face by repairing the muscle? Am I an appropriate candidate for this procedure. It makes me nervous because its close to the face. Please let me know your thoughts. This time I've included photos. Thank you kindly
