Do I need a lift, volume or injections? I’ve been told to get volume in cheeks, injections in chin and lasers to lift to name a few. I’m just not sure!
Answer: Pericommissure bulges These bulges right next to the corners of your mouth are pericommissure bulges and different than regular jowls. These can be very hard to treat. A facelift can definitely help in pulling them back and making them flat however, sometimes you need fillers to camouflage them as well. Start with simple stuff i.e., fillers and then proceed to surgery if not better. RegardsDr. J

Answer: Lower facelift Thanks for sharing. It looks like some excess skin laxity has created this fullness outside the mouth. A lower facelift will allow this excess skin be tightened and smooth out this bulging area. The buccal fat may also be contributing to this fullness and your surgeon would need to examine you to determine if this needs to be addressed.
