What is this bulge next my mouth and what will fix it? (Photos)

Question

I have experienced volume loss and loss of elasticity after bad dermal filler and aggressive dissolving. I have a prominent bulge on one side of mouth that I at first assumed was dermal filler but hyaluronidase did not affect it at all. I now believe it is my mouth muscle and possibly volume loss around has made it prominent? I’m confused what my options are and if lifting the cheek will fix it as when I do so with my hand it inproves the bulge. I’d appreciate any thoughts if this has been seen before!

Peri-oral mounds Are poorly understood and difficult to treat. And paragraph some providers claim they have good effective treatments that work good
If you can find one that they can show you an impressive collection of before and after pictures, then you may want to consider treatments.
Expected to hear, different explanations and be offered different treatments.
That’s often the case when the situation is complex and there is no one single best treatment.
 It’s a challenging condition to correct.
Personally, I don’t try to correct these.
I feel like I want to have good certainty that I’m going to make a patient better if I’m going to take their money and do procedures.
Best,
