Hi there! I noticed this pouch by the right side of my mouth and it has been there for 5-6 months now. I got a bit of cheek fillers 1.5 years ago. Ended up getting sick with subacute thyroiditis 7 months later and lost a little over 10lbs as a result. Have since recovered. Could this be filler migration? Buccal fat? Perioral Mounds? Muscle? Anything I can do for this? I'm in my early 30s and it's making me a bit self conscious :).
Answer: Mouth Your filler is gone by now and this is excess skin from weight loss. I would suggest micro-needling with radiofrequency, like Secret, for skin tightening.

Answer: Unusual facial contour The contour issue is most likely similar to what causes Peri oral mounds. It’s definitely not buccal fat and it’s not migration of fillers, which in my opinion doesn’t actually happen. Facial contour is made up of many different components. The first and primary is facial bone structure. After that they’re on the regular soft tissue layers, and then finally contour related to tension and contraction of all the muscles of facial expression. Reducing the volume around your lip is going to be difficult so the easiest and most likely best treatment is to augment they are young, just adjacent to it. We can sometimes so often Giles by adding fillers in front of the Joe call the pre-Jowl sulcus. In the same way fillers could be added just behind the area fullness as the transitions to your cheek. It may not be easy or straightforward, and you should look for highly experienced senior providers who have a lot of experience. I don’t think you’ll find any single diagnosis or abnormality.
