How to get rid of strange lines that appear when I smile only? (Photos)

Asked By:yazabaz in Houston, Texas

Hi so when I smile upwards with my teeth I get these awkward lines around my nose and the back of my cheeks. There’s two that are just on the smile line area and then like two right above those. They make my smile super awkward and have made me not want to smile for years. Is there any way to fix this my frost thought was that maybe Botox is an option but I’m open to any other opinions My smile looks good when I smile with a closed mouth and outwardly just when I try to smile with my teeth and upward is the issue
