If you know of anybody (of if you have ever contemplated it), please make sure you/they research all parties involved and go to a VERY reputable clinic.  Personally, I have to question whether it’s worth it.  But if it is done, it should be done right, with all parties aware of the risks, and possible outcomes.  And please…don’t use go the ‘discount’ route.  This place offered a ‘discount’ sort of thing.

It can make your physical appearance worse

It can endanger your health, as evidenced by what happened to this young woman, Linda Perez.

It can endanger your life.
