February 10, 2021
Asked By:Andyyyy10 in Los Angeles, California

Hello. I don't like my bumps next to my mouth I guess it might be cause I have lost baby fat but I have had it since I remember. Also when I smile It makes weird folds next to my mouth. I have already had some fat dissolving injections (lower cheeks) and fillers (upper cheeks) with no effect on this. What kind of procedure would help me? Thank you for help.
