Botox instead of fillers - Can I improve my smile line without the use of fillers? (Photos)

kolo22Jan 30, 2026

Im not a big fan of fillers and i dont trust them. due to genetics I have a pronounced smile line. I’m only 30 and I can’t stand having it anymore I tired of hating the way it just stands out. i don’t want fillers I would rather use Botox as it doesn’t move around like fillers. Can someone confirm if I’m making a mistake or advice exactly what I should request at the clinic Thank you in advance for your help
