Im not sure if its hereditary, an allergy, deficiency, or something else, but Ive had deep creases across my cheek for a long time. They even seem to be present in my baby photos. They run from the inner corner of my eye to mid cheek. Sometimes they are so pronounced that people mistake them for a scar. Is there any way to permanently make these less obvious (surgical or non-surgical)?
