Title: Not sure what these lines are called, but how do you fix them?
Post by: RedLips on April 16, 2016, 11:23:45 PM

When I smile, my lines at the sides cut deeply into my skin and make me look old. I've always hated it. Yesterday I was "face-swapping" with my mom using one of those silly apps, and she commented on how "old" and "ugly" her smile lines looked. Plot twist: it was my smile.

I know my cheeks are asymmetrical, but usually there a way (preferably less invasive) to fix these lines?bWould a jaw surgery fix this?

Nasolabial folds? Pretty sure people do fillers for that. But you look GREAT anyway. Like, I seriously wouldn't even bother. If anything they make your cheeks look more full :)

don't do anything. it's OK. Probably you will try, but if something go wrong then come back here and read this. There will be no return

You are a naturally beautiful woman. You are going to ruin yourself with plastic surgery.

It's normal? Or is it because my cheek fat is naturally distributed weirdly?

I feel like most people (including beautiful people) have nasolabial lines that go out to the side when they smile. Mine go straight down and even past my lip.

See? http://i.imgur.com/LTwlYsB.png?1

And my philtrum is SUPER long. I'm hoping that the jaw surgery I'm looking to have summer 2017 will fix that, but it just drives me crazy: http://imgur.com/a/sdrpL

I'm here to add to the consensus.  You're beautiful and have a great smile--maybe consider fillers or whatever crazy cool technology we have for nasiolabal folds in 20 years? 

As for jaw surgery in 2017--I don't know the context but I cannot over emphasize how important it will be for you to TREAD CAREFULLY.  Good luck.
