Horizontal line between nose and upper lip - What are my treatment options? (photos)

Asked By:Sandia601 in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Hi I am in my mid-50’s. I started developing a horizontal line between my nose and upper lip in my late 40s. It is increasingly prominent. What causes this and what are treatment options? And is this hereditary? My mother has the exact same thing. Of note: We both have had Septum and Turbinate surgery in our 30’s.
