The small mounds at the corner of your mouth it's probably not fat but rather skin folds.It may be challenging to remove these.  Options could include direct excision or adding volume around the mounds to camouflage using fillers. Best,Mats Hagstrom, MD

Dear Laygman,
Hello and thank you for your excellent question. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. Preoperative visualization with Crisalix can simulate what your body will look like after surgery and can help you make your decision. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. Good luck!
  
Best,
