For the second one you know exactly what choice you are making. That's not a down-the-road consequence, it's a direct choice.
I would say mutilation is pretty severe...it's generally a pretty traumatic and extreme change that people are haunted by for the rest of their lives.

If the game would have your character be haunted or traumatized, it would be severe. But that doesn't happen. Therefore it's purely cosmetic for your character.
