Asked By:BarbaraTuan in La Celle-Sous-Gouzon, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Hello everyone. I have what seems to be fat pads surrounding my chin. This creates a shadow when there's light coming from above, going from the corner of my lips downwards. It looks like my chin has no fat, but around it, where the cheeks start, the fat starts too. I'm 31 years old and I've always had this problem. My BMI is 21, and I've never been fat (I had these pads even when I was underweight during teenage years). Can someone help me with this problem, please?
