I really hope someone can help me. I'm getting married next year but hate smiling due to a weird dent that appears when I smile. It shows on the right-hand side only; I first noticed it about five years ago when I was thirty. It's like a small pocket of fat bunches at the side of my mouth and creates an ugly vertical line when I smile.
