Hello, I am a 40 year old female looking to address my peri oral mounds that seem to be getting worse every year. I am seeing more and more shadowing. I have had some plastic surgeons mention filler while others have told me they have seen filler make things worse. One plastic surgeon recommend micro liposuction.
