I have a small "dent" in my cheek right beside my nose that is very evident when I smile. How can a "dent" be treated?

It's only on one side. It has developed in my 40s as I've lost volume. My derm told me she cannot use filler on it because it is close to a vein. She suggested botox to relax the muscle that pulls there when I smile. Does that make sense? Any other suggestions? Thank you for your time.
