I have a dark shadow on my cheekbones while I smile, any suggestions? (Photo)

When I see the side of my cheekbone (when I am not smiling), I don't see that dark shadow or line anymore on my cheekbones. I am not sure why this dark patch appears only when I smile. I have attached the pic for your reference. Note: I recently was on medication for h-pylori. I am still on proton inhibitor.
