Unhappy about a pouch of tissue next to mouth. I have had buccal removal and lipo in the area to remove as much fat but still protrudes. I had Botox fillers but unhappy with result so want surgery next, like a mid face lift to simulate the photo where I'm pulling and flattening the area. Also in pain from it. I have angular cheilitis from droopy mouth corners and it's been a source of pain and frustration for years for me. Will insurance cover? Don't care about scars. I just want my pain fixed
