Nasolabial Folds After Taking Accutane? What Can I Do? (photo)

I'm only 24 and I've had nasolabial folds ever since I went on Accutane at 18 years old! I've been going crazy ever since and hate the way it looks, I see the dark shadows around my mouth every time I look in the mirror. I always thought it would go away with time but it's not. I've consulted 2 dermatologists regarding Juvederm and they both discouraged it. Is there anything else I can try?
