Can I correct bulge at the side of my mouth?

I just have a question. These folds/bulges at the sides of my mouth. . . is this sagging at 35?? And would facial exercises help?? Any other treatments?? Thanks very much.

Look at the anatomical drawing. You'll see that area at the side of the mouth where many of the facial muscles merge. That area (where the square is) is called the modiolus (mo-dí-o-lus). In the faces of most people this bulge is usually invisible but in some people it's more pronounced. Facial exercise will not diminish the size of the modiolus. In fact it might increase the size.

Now I may be wrong in my opinion. I would ask others on facial exercise forums. I don't have all the answers and some of my answers are not exactly correct.
