Are these perioral mounds? Should I treat them with lipo or facelift? (Photo)

Question

I had a sliding genioplasty reversed than afterwards three months later after swelling was gone I received these on my face which may be jowls or perioral mounds. What can I do to fix them? Would lipo to the area work? I'm only 36

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, liposuction is too dangerous in that area and these areas are excess skin and not fat. Doing micro-needling with radiofrequency, like Secret, could be very helpful to tighten that area.

Hello; since you are 36 years old; Vaserlipo procedure will be sufficient. Even if you are older; because, the skin will not collect enough; it was necessary for adding Renuvion J Plasma technique.

Perioral mounds are poorly, understood, and difficult to treat. The primary underlying cause is typically facial bone structure.
This is a contour that is formed from a combination of underlying variables, including bone structure, tension from muscles of facial expression, and is not have a single underlying cause that is easy to treat.
Best,
