Soft spongy lump by mouth (Photo)

Sacramento6138May 21, 2024
I recently had a neck & jowl lift a month ago. The doctor did a fat transfer to my cheeks, line from nose to corner of my mouth, and lips. I have a soft spongy lump on the corner of my mouth. It looks just awful. When I smile it’s down right embarrassing. My top lip is still not completely straight yet when I smile on the same side. The procedure from the lift or fat transfer did not affect my bottom lip. I know time will not fix the spongy lump. Help.
