Bulge / lump when I smile. What is this and can it be resolved? (Photo)

Hello @Disappointed33, thank you for your question. It's difficult to give a definitive answer without examining the area. Keep in mind that several factors can influence the healing process following surgery. These factors include the surgical technique used by the surgeon, the type of procedure performed, and the level of recovery the patient is experiencing. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.
