Are these perioral mounds? How can I get rid of them? (Photo)

Asked By:wildparsnip in Nottingham, MD

I can feel how they protrude a tiny bit from the rest of my cheek. I am 15 right now and these have become a big insecurity of mine. They are on both sides and are only visible in certain lighting. My face is quite chubby currently so if I lost weight would there be a chance these would go away?
