Would you treat it with botox to relax the muscle and make it less prominent, therefore reduce the shadow or would you rather use HA fillers around it? Any other advise on it is very welcome! And, is it really the muscle responsible for the shadow or is maybe the lack of fat in that area? I hate it, I think it makes me look tired, angry, "harsh", you name it... Thank you!
