I believe I have perioral mounds on my face or what people call a chubby face. But I weigh only 122 and I'm 5.6. I've had this my whole life but I've noticed with I'm assuming age (27) that they have got more "droopy" then they used to be. They are right besides the corners of my mouth. What can I do besides surgery to help with this? Unless surgery is my real only option to correcting this. (Single mom on a budget here lol)

What you are experiencing seems normal. As a rule, following any facial surgery (or even trauma), 80% of swelling is generally gone by 2 weeks and 90% of swelling is generally gone by 2 months. The remaining 10% of your swelling gradually resolves over the remaining 10 months, which...
Yes you can. Provided you take normal doses there is no harm in doing so and probably some benefit, mainly in terms of healing and reduced chance of developing pain syndromes following surgery.All the best with your recovery,Dean
