What are these shadows under my lips and is there a way to get rid/remove them? (photos)

Asked By:SilverMinxy in Ireland, IE

For as long as I can remember I've had these shadows under my lips and I have no idea what they are. While I'm not particularly bothered by them they do make me feel self conscious at times so I would like to know if there's any way to get rid of them or to make the shadows a little more subtle.

Are there any permanent lip fillers ?
Amir Nakhdjevani, MBBS, MRCS, FRCS(Plast) says:

Thank you for your question.  Fillers are not permanent however Permalip Implants are very safe, permanent and give a natural result.  They are performed under a local anaesthetic, with a downtime of approx 7 days due to bruising and swelling.  You can use cool packs to help reduce.  All The Best
