What is this extra fat in my lip? (photos)

April 13, 2023

I have an extra tissue inside my top lip that is more prominent when I pucker my lips or sometimes when I close my mouth its like poking out. I was wondering what this is and how I could get it treated. I am also a frequent lipstick wearer which makes it much more noticeable when lipstick is on due to the color difference between the lipstick on my lips and the pocket of tissue showing.
