Is this protrusion near my eyebrow/forehead when I smile normal? (Photos)

On the left side of my face near my eyebrow/forehead there seems to be something that protrudes especially when I smile. I’m 24 years old, never had anything done. I’ve been very self conscious about this and I feel like it makes the side of my face looked deformed.

What you have is due to the way your infraorbital ligaments attach to the orbital rim. It is very common and easily treated with a filler such as Juvederm Voluma by an expert who understands the anatomy of the area.
