What is the lump on my jawline and how could I treat it?

B
Brave8071Dec 8, 2019

The past year I’ve noticed a lump on my jawline. I saw my Dr about 6 months ago, she said it’s likely uneven fat distribution. I’m 28, 5ft 7 and 120lbs and haven’t gained any weight. It feels like a squishy sack underneath, not large or hard etc. It’s really knocking my confidence, it’s not like it on the other side, the other side it just straight when I put my head to the side. Thanks in advance.

Dear Morgan2020, it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, there is a chance that you have a bursa or cyst which can be removed surgically.  If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only...
