Asked By:Sansa1030 in Annandale, Virginia

Hi! I'm a 40 y/o female, 5'4", 195lbs. I have mounds on either side of my face that are more pronounced at my current weight, but are definitely still present at my usual weight of 140lbs. These seem to be genetic as both my mother and maternal grandmother have them - and they are present in photos throughout their lives. I hate them. What are my options??
