Why are those bumps around my mouth? Is there a surgery that could flatten them out?

Lucas Mead
I have some quite flat cheeks but I still have some thick layer of muscle/fat around my lips and especially at the corners of the lips and above the lips. It is very unpleasant and looks like a Homer Simpson thing that is not elegant. Is there a surgery that could flatten them out and make my lips at the same level as my cheeks without some bumps in between? And what are those?
