Asked By:Lisa235 in Boston, Massachusetts

I am only 21 and I feel like I started to notice these pouches under my lip about a year ago. I have looked into it and saw some "experts" mention it could be related to irritable bowel syndrome or things like "facial yoga" could help. I also have a dimple connecected by a piece of flesh inside my mouth under my lip, could this be the cause? I JUST WANT THESE POUCHES GONE it is making my face appear deformed.
