Question

What procedure would you recommend to get rid of this pocket near my mouth when i purse my lips (im not sure what its called)

Michelle R. Yagoda, MD · Answer

Filler injections are fast, safe, and immediate corrections for pockets and pouches on the side of the mouth.    Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma and/or Belotero can be artistically placed to even out bumps and depressions.

Heidi A. Waldorf, MD · Answer

Pockets or pouches on the sides of the mouth are usually caused by the volume above being greater than the volume below.  I can't see the rest of your face, but one answer could be to have filler below that area to transition it into your chin and jawline better.  In addition, if you have flattening in the temple or upper cheeks, adding filler in the cheekbone area and temples can pull it upward.  Tissue tightening techniques like thermage CPT total tip or ulthera may also be helpful on their own or as adjuncts to the filler.I hope this answer was helpful!Wishing you the best of luck.
