1 deep crease in my cheek while smiling, the other cheek doesn't. How to fix and what is the cause? (Photo)

Question

Hi doctors! I have fillers in the apples of my cheeks, smile lines, marionette folds, but while smiling I have 1 big crease/bulging skin on the left side of my face, the side I DO NOT sleep on, while the side I do sleep on is wrinkle/crease free. What is due to this deep crease/depression? And how to solve it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

FaceTite can internally tighten the skin in the lower face and neck. After all the skin has been heated and contracted, we shape the neck with liposuction to give definition and remove stubborn pockets of fat. In one quick treatment, we can tighten skin, remove fat, and contour the lower face, jawline, and jowls with only a weekend of downtime.  Keep in mind that combination approaches will give you a more significant improvement as opposed to a single procedure. I recommend getting a consultation with a board-certified cosmetic dermatologist and facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

the  answer to your  question would be found in a preinjection picture of you smiling. I suspect that the visible nasolabial fold filler is exaggerating a preexisting hollow in the left cheek. The answer if so would be to dissolve the filler
