What the title says. I have these odd bumps around my mouth. They make my face look swollen/deformed and people have repeatedly commented on them. I've been wanted to get them fixed forever, but I don't know the cause nor what could possibly be done to fix them. Mouth's also a bit assymetrical, and the upper lip is too short and doesn't close over the teeth. Looking for cosmetic procedures for the mouth all I get are lip injections. Any recommendations about what could be done? Thanks.
