Solution for Deep Lateral Creases Where Cheek and Under Eye Area Meet?

Also due to the creasing when I smile, I now have lines/wrinkles (not creases) even when I am not smiling.

Treatment of cheek eyelid junction creases

It sounds like the line or crease is a dynamic one i.e. caused by muscle motion. If you treat these early usually Botox injections will suffice.

Without a face to face examination or photos I cannot say what stage of this process you are currently in or what surgical procedure if any would be appropriate.... more
