What are these lumps and how do I fix them? (Photos)

Question

I've had a buccal fat pad removal already. I asked my doctor if these were the buccal fat he said no. Is it possible to get these lumps removed? What are they? They almost look like jowls but higher up. Plz help!!

Barry L. Eppley, MD, DMD · Answer

Those are classic perioral subcutaneous fat collections (mounds) which are not affected by a buccal lipectomy procedure. They can be reduced by very small cannula liposuction.

Nilay Shah, MD · Answer

Hi! Based on your photos these lumps seem to be perioral subcutaneous fat collection which has no relation to buccal fat procedure. You may consider a minor cannula liposuction, however, consult an experienced plastic surgeon for a physical examination for an ideal treatment that you should undergo.

Karan Chopra, MD · Answer

Hi! These are Perioral Mounds and I liposuction these through a small incision hidden in the corner/inside of your lip via a microcannula. This is a very targetted procedure to improve the contour in that area.
