Hi! I’ve had pockets on the side of my mouth for a few years now, they’ve gotten worse and better throughout the years - definitely impacted by sleeping on my face (I’m a big side/stomach sleeper) and presence of lip fillers. I currently have some lip filler, cheek, and jaw. I’ve had RF microneedling. I was recently bit by a dog on my lip, and it appears to have made the pocket on the right side of my mouth more pronounced. I’ve had Hylenex injected, we decided it’s not migrated filler.
