Deep Hollows Under Eyes and Large Malar Fat Pads - Advice?

October 19, 2010
Asked By:Lansing in Lansing, MI

I am having a very difficult time determining what I need done. I have deep hollows under my eyes, and I also have huge malar fat pads that stick out when I smile. These create lines across my upper cheek. Even when I don't smile they form a droopy strip of fat going from the nose to the jowl. My lips are also downturned at the corners when I smile. I seem to have big lip muscles at the corners of my upper lip. It makes smiling uncomfortable and odd looking. Thanks for any advice you can give.
