Hello! I've had these folds below my nostrils when I smile for all of my life. I recently tried botox to address them, but it didn't work. I was injected right at the folds, and since that is usually done to address gummy smile I was given a lip flip as well so that my smile wouldn't droop too much. My lips are fuller but there was no change to the folds. Could plastic surgery or some other treatment help? Is there any term for these folds?
