I have an indentation when I smile big above my nasolabial fold on the right side. At rest it looks completely normal. When I pull the skin back it looks normal so I don't think it's a volume issue? I'm 42. What are my options?

Answer: Skin Boosters Can Help Smooth Skin Indentations With Smiling By sheer coincidence, I treated a patient with a similar problem on both cheeks just last week. At rest, like you, the indentations were not visible, however, they became quite apparent with smiling. I opted to treat her with a small amount of hyaluronic acid-based skin booster, injecting it quite superficially and confining it only to the triangular indentations that become apparent with facial expression. The results were immediate and extremely gratifying for both patient and doctor. She has since notified me that the results have continued to improve, which is likely due to the improved tissue hydration promoted by the skin booster. She was treated in my Israel satellite facility, where quite a few injectable skin booster products are available, with Viscoderm Hydroboosters. In my NY office, I would opt for Restylane Silk for this purpose. Make sure that you consult with a board certified aesthetic physician. Best of luck.

Answer: Filler If you have never had this issue until recently you can certainly add some volume in the area to reduce the line while you smile. It most likely is caused from volume loss.
