Are these smile lines (nasolabial & marionette lines) a normal occurrence? (Photos)

August 7, 2023
Asked By:zhuhai in Kansas

is it normal or common for marionette lines (lines extending from the corner of the mouth to the lower chin) to start forming from above the corner of the mouth and create a fold above the upper lip? is this an issue with my lips or skin/tissue or just a normal occurrence & what can I do to treat it? collagen inducing treatments, micro needling, skin resurfacing, since i’m not thinking of doing filler? any answers to these questions is much appreciated thanks for your time doctors :)
