In the last year I have developed strange contours around my mouth, particually when I smile, are they perioral mounds? What can be done to improve it, its worse on one side. I naturally have mouth corners that turn down, is there any risk in this looking worse if I do microlipo in this area?

Answer: Peri-oral mounds I would not do micro-lipo in the area of concern. The reason you are noticing these fat/muscle bulges more with age is probably a loss of fat tissue contour in the area. As we age we loose fatty tissue and tend to get sagging of what remains. This can lead to the visible deformity you describe. The better correction is to replace fullness around the area in an even fashion. either with fat itself or a filler like Juvederm or Perlane.
