I have a deep mesolabial fold line due to a receding chin and down-turned mouth and I want to correct this so I have a cleaner jawline. I'm at a loss for what to do because after consulting with a cosmetic surgeon, even he wasn't sure what to recommend. I don't know if I should consider a chin implant, jaw surgery (as I have a slight overbite) or fillers. Ideally I'd like to do something non-invasive as I develop keloid scars. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
