Understanding and Addressing Perioral Mounds
(The Removal of Fat Pockets Around Mouth Area)
Have you noticed a subtle change in your jawline?
Perhaps a slight fullness or sagging of the face that’s making you look older than you feel?
You may be experiencing the development of perioral mounds, often referred to as “mouth pouches.”
These are localized fat deposits that can appear on either side of the mouth, creating a less defined jawline and a more aged appearance.

Addressing Common Questions About Perioral Mounds – (FAQ)
What Causes Perioral Mounds?
- Aging: As we age, our skin loses elasticity, and the underlying fat pads can shift and sag, accumulating around the mouth.
- Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to having more prominent fat deposits in this area.
“How to Get Rid of Perioral Mounds Naturally”
Unfortunately, there’s no magic cream or exercise that can permanently eliminate perioral mounds. While a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help maintain overall skin health, it won’t directly target these specific fat deposits.
“Fat Around Mouth” & “Fat Pockets Around Mouth”
- These terms accurately describe the appearance of perioral mounds. They are indeed localized accumulations of fat that contribute to the fullness around the mouth.
Treatment Options for Perioral Mounds
At Many Faces of Chicago, we offer a range of personalized treatment options to address perioral mounds and restore a more youthful, defined jawline:
Liposuction: This minimally invasive procedure removes excess fat from the perioral area using small cannulas.
Perioral Mound Liposuction Non-Surgical Options:
- Dermal Fillers: In some cases, strategically placed dermal fillers can help to camouflage the appearance of perioral mounds by adding volume to the surrounding areas.
- Radiofrequency Treatments: These treatments use heat to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin, improving skin laxity and reducing the appearance of sagging.
