Find someone who is well versed on different options (injections, lasers and surgery) and rely on their expertise. Good luck!

If they are too deep, it is possible to fill the ones on the sides of the face with Juvederm and botulinum toxins such as Dysport or Botox. Lasers, such as Fraxel or CO2, may also help but once the smiling resumes, the lines will return as well. Depending on how deep they are and exactly where they are, these lines have... more
