Asked By:Sarah. bird in Petawawa, ON

I am a 22 year old female of some kind of Asian decent (my specific background is unknown). I have had these strange pockets of fat by my mouth as long as I can remember. They are very ugly and I would love to know what I can do to get rid of them, or at the very least find out what they are. Thanks!
