It appears to be hanging down. I am 20 years old, and I have been thin my entire life. What is this and how can I get rid of it. Ive been told buckle fat removal was an option, but I've also heard botox could help as well. Looking for any advice/guidance!
Answer: Fillers or laser skin treatments You may want to consider fillers or laser skin treatments to address the problem. Fillers will add volume to lift sagging contours and the laser treatments can rejuvenate your skin to boost collagen production.

Answer: Peri-oral fullness Thanks for sharing. Buccal fat pad removal is not an option here as the location is further away. Injections like Botox or Dysport may help camouflage the area depending on how the other side looks and how the corners of your mouth move. In addition to some of the other comments, it is possible that you have a small benign fatty tissue that simply may necessitate removal alone. An in person exam is needed to diagnose and treat you best.

Answer: Shadows and Extra Skin Outside of the Mouth This is called the marionette or pre-jowl area and is starting to droop in your case. Filler in this area isnt the best as it can make the area look more "hound dog" like. My suggestion is to get radiofrequency tightening, laser treatments for texture and superficial tightening, and sculptra to the lateral face to lift and contour the area. Direct filler to this area, which most people will suggest isnt the best first option. This should be done after you have done all the filling and lifting elsewhere. I suggest a formal consultation with a facial contouring expert to give you the best long term solution. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Some things to avoid... You have an excess of tissue in an area that tends to lose tissue with aging. I expect it will improve with time as your face matures. I would avoid buccal fat pad removal, which removes a pad which is not in the immediate area and may accentuate the problem you have. Botox and neuromodulators like it are not used in this area by most injectors, as the smile can be impaired.
