I have Always had this puffiness around mouth, I have seen some info online about perioral mounds but I am not sure if this is the same thing. I am quite skinny but when I look down my cheeks seem to be quite puffy. Any advice would be appreciated.

Answer: The modiolus Hi and welcome to our forum!The modiolus is a point of attachment of the 8 separate muscles to the lips adjacent to the corners of the mouth. It is responsible for movement of the lips. The skin overlying this area is quite mobile and is prone to stretching over time. Non-surgically, fillers may be used for camouflage. A temporal lift will elevate the cheek skin and oral commissure.Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.Best wishes...
