I have genetic deep mid cheek grooves and saggy cheeks at 22, what can I do to improve them? (photos)

Selena99
I'm 22, I have had deep mid cheek lines and saggy cheeks since I was a child. I have a line that start at the tear through, extends to the mid cheek and then the cheek below the line is saggy. They look like Malar festoons. I want to make it clear these have always been here. I tried filler that had to be dissolved as it made them worse. I'm not a great candidate for surgery. What other options do I have, learning to live with them isn't an option I'm only with.
