What can I do for ugly smile lines? I do not like my smile and asymmetrical face. Is there a solution for my problem? (photo)

Question

What are my options for this ?  Surgery could change anything ?

Injectable fillers that contain hyaluronic acid, which includes JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, can help to fill in the smile lines around your mouth and provide a subtle increase in facial volume. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance that’s already present in your skin. It has the ability to attach to and retain a large amount of water, which is what creates that smooth, plumped effect on your skin. These injections typically take less than 20 minutes to complete, and there is little to no downtime afterwards. Just be sure to work with a trained professional. Good luck!

We commonly use Juvederm for deep smile lines, which are very common.  However, for people who have more dynamic smile lines, Juvederm will only be helpful for the hollows present at rest, ie. when you are not actively smiling.
