Asked By:MamaJay in Fremont, California

When I smile, I get there indents under my eyes, on the sides of my upper nose. Are these tear troughs? Can this be fixed with fat transfer or filler? I just did Botox under my eyes hoping it would help relax the muscles there but it actually made these indents more prominent.
