Would Fillers or Botox help with cheek depression when smiling?

November 10, 2016
Asked By:mw8585 in Bells, North Carolina

One thing I strongly dislike is a depression / sort of hollowness that shows up in my cheeks when I smile - mainly on the left side of the face. Is this a muscular issue that occurs when I smile or is it because my cheeks are too flat? What would be my best option to correct this? Also, am I a candidate for a conservative rhinoplasty to refine my nose tip and narrow the bridge? Could I also benefit from a conservative eyelid surgery to open my eyes more? I would like to be more attractive.
