There's a lump on the side of my nose after alarplasty. Does any doctor know what this is? (Photo)

Asked By:Graceful711883 in Singapore, Singapore

I have had alarplasty done, and there’s this lump/ muscles on the sides of my nose when I smile. It is almost like two lumps on the sides of my alars when I smile. Could this be a cause from the procedure or is this possible for some people naturally? Tried googling everywhere but can’t find the medical term for it. Any help will be appreciated! I saw a photo of a celebrity on screen with the exact same thing. Hope this gives clarity as I couldn’t explain it properly.
