In the past year or so, pockets of what seems to be fat have become more&more noticeable. I've always been slightly on the pudgy side so I've always had a chubby face, but they've never been this prominent. Most visible when my mouth is relaxed, & though you can still see them when I smile, they're not as noticeable. I'm so self conscious because of them & research has led me to believe I may need Perioral Mound Microliposuction to reduce them. They're genetic (my mother has them) if that helps.
