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

Asked By:blueslife808 in Huntington Beach, CA

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. I’m not sure if there is a blue vein there, a muscle or a bone that is making the side of my face look like this. I can physically feel and see something there though. Is this normal?
