What Causes a Horizontal Crease Above Upper Lip (Beneath Nose) when I Smile?

cibell2000
I am 42 years old, have never had any facial work done and have recently noticed that when I smile I have a very noticable horizontal fold or raised pouch of skin beneath my nose that measures about 1-1/2" long. What could cause this and more importantly, are there any non-surgical ways to lessen or get rid of it?
