Asked By:Julie52 in Thousand Oaks, California

I had a lower face lift 8 years ago and take very good care of my skin. About 2 years ago I noticed an issue and it is getting worse. The problem is that when I smile, I have these lumps / bumps on the side of my mouth, particularly on the left side. I have never had fillers placed in this area nor do I sleep on my side. Also, I have been told that I do not need another face-lift at this time. Can you please tell me what I need to do to get rid of these lumps that form with a smile? Thank you!
