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

Question

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?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

There's nothing in the provided photograph it indicates anything should be done. The face is very youthful and attractive and should be left alone.

Hi there. Thanks for your question. You face is quite youthful and attractive. You do not need a plastic surgery solution for your concerns. General weight loss may have a positive impact on your area of concern. Good luck. Dr. Burnett

Steven Wallach, MD · Answer

You have a youthful face and it appears norma.  I would not recommend anything to be done for you. Good luck
