“Outward Dimples”?- What are these? (Photo)

October 25, 2023
Asked By:carpetsauce in Chicago, Illinois

I’ve had these lumps, or “outward dimples” by the corner of my mouth my whole life. I think they are fat pockets, but I’m not sure as they don’t sag my mouth corners, they’re just there. They are lighter in color than the rest of the skin on my face. I don’t think they’re perioral mounds, because they don’t sag. What could these be?
